Come on over to my place - The Drifters (bit obvious, sorry!)

Damn, I wish I was your lover - Sophie B. Hawkins

I played the fool - Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes / Steve Van Zandt

Fooled around and fell in love - Elvin Bishop

Afternoon delight - Starland Vocal Band

Dylan over the years has certainly come in for some stick, some deserved and some not IMO. I must admit though, when I first heard this it stopped me dead in my tracks.

Chinese Rocks - Johnny Thunder and The Heartbreakers

Why does love got to be so sad? - Derek and The Dominos

I tried one of the early Ashdown 4x8 cabs, and was a bit unimpressed IIRC. Quite loud but didn’t like the tone, and thought the heavy weight of the cab somehow defeated the object of the exercise so just went with their ABM 410. Paired with an early ABM500 head, it sounded so much better than the 4x8, and not that much harder to lug around. Haven’t tried the recent 4x8 Neo cabs though so may be better sounding and hopefully lighter.

Ain’t no doubt - Jimmy Nail

Suspicious minds - Elvis P.

I don’t know anything about speaker alignment and the limitations of 8 inch speakers etc. However I do know that the SWR Henry 8x8 cab I had sounded wonderful and was one of the best I’ve played through. One has recently sold on here for peanuts, bought by Dad3353, Douglas to his friends. ( I believe SWR did a 4x8 version too, Henry Jr?)

Great song and great video too. Can’t beat Mr Cooder.

Scenes from an Italian restaurant - Billy Joel

Sunday Girl - Blondie

Birdhouse in your soul - They Might Be Giants.

Once in a very blue moon - Nanci Griffith

Break on through ( to the other side ) - The Doors

Can’t go wrong with a Tanglewood EB -18 Elfin bass. Around 20 inch scale IIRC, looks like a shrunk Precision! They play and sound really well, and can be picked up for around £80 or less if you’re lucky. Ideal for small hands, but I’ve used mine on a gig and it coped brilliantly. Think Harley Benton do a decent short scale, the PB shorty, currently £79 at Thomann. More of a ‘normal’ short scale at 30 inches so may be a bit big for your nephew just yet. Good luck!

Putting on the Ritz - Irving Berlin / Gregory Porter etc

Oh what a beautiful mornin’ - James Taylor ( song from the musical ‘Oklahoma’)

Hip to be square - Huey Lewis and The News

Macarena - Los Del Rio

Mack the Knife - Bobby Darin etc.

Almost cut my hair - Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
