Mykesbass Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 [quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1486488553' post='3232230'] Like what? We do love machine, thats pretty gender specific. Hard pressed to think of something we wouldn't do. Sisters of mercy did jolene, that worked ok. [/quote] You're right of course. I only put that caveat in there thinking if I hadn't I'd have been shot down in flames 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had one since Easter, and now it's half past three. Apart from that, I'm drawing a blank! Doh, forgot this - I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet - don't write 'em like that any more (thank goodness)!

taunton-hobbit Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I had a gig that had specified 'Scottish Country Dancing' - bearing in mind that I was running a soul & reggae sound system............I left messages suggesting that they brought their preferred choice of music for me to play..........sure enough they didn't & I spent most of the evening in the bar. Never worked there again, thank goodness (oh yes, and it was, apparently, all 'my' fault - f off) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 [quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1485935027' post='3227757'] Never really got the issue with blokes doing songs originally by women or vice versa. Tina herself did it with Proud Mary. Obviously there are very gender specific songs that wouldn't work. [/quote] I could've understood it if it was a specific song, but nope, it's always "Do you do any Tina Turner?" What, like the dance?

Cat Burrito Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I was in a 50s rock 'n' roll band that got asked to do Oasis. More than once too!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 [quote name='blue' timestamp='1485929568' post='3227736'] We're a blues/rock 70s Vintage Midwestern Bar band. "Do we play what by Rush?" Blue [/quote] As daft as it sounds, the trio I'm playing in managed to shoehorn a Rush tune into the middle of a mostly blues-rock set on Saturday. Or at least, about half of one, since we segued into it from another song. The drummer is a massive Rush fan and the guitarist reckoned it would be fun. Surprisingly it went down OK.

Marc S Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 A few months back, playing 70's, 80's, 90's mix of rock, punk, pop, ska & reggae, A woman who had been on the dancefloor for at least 5 or 6 songs came up to me and said; "Can you play something I can dance to?"
