Never actually enjoyed Folgers but the ad we did for them (a little prostitution never hurts) helped buy the Church. For that I remain grateful to them. I like strong fair-traded organic java if I can find it. :)


Prostitution to buy a church? What a concept. It may help to explain those tv preachers that panhandle and build those palaces they call churches.
I like your/our church a whole lot better.

Coffee has a horrible tasting ingredient in it, but the majority of the population do not have the genetics to taste that ingredient. Apparently, I do. That stuff is NASTY!!!

I beg to differ. Coffee is the nectar of life........or is that Guinness? Coffee is one of the two nectars of life...........if you don't count bourbon.........and really good tea.

Larry, the reason coffee and Guiness taste good to you is because you can't taste that horrible ingredient! :mrgreen:

I used to think I was of the Irish blood, 'till I had a taste of Guiness. Must be the Scots or Cherokee in me that reacts so strongly to that stuff.

We're in the process of beginning to take a look at the songs we should be thinking about for the tour starting in June 2013, assuming the world hasn't ended by then. There's a lot of the old songs we haven't done for a while, some mine some by others. A revamped setlist is always fun to think about. I've noticed that some have been current for a long time and others never seem to make it thru to the stage even if we've rehearsed them at the studio. Much depends on whether I'm solo, with a band, and then which band. Aside from the coffee it takes to decide these things there's not much java has to do with the subject of this forum. So if there's long time favs (in my mind 'Percy's Song' would be one for example), that we haven't done for a while, lemme know which come to mind.

Well, since you asked........

"Percy's Song," yes. I've also missed hearing "Days Are Short," "Somebody Turned On The Light," "I've Just Seen A Face," "Jamaica Farewell," anything off "Outlasting The Blues," ..............."Mother, The Queen Of My Heart," "Rovin' Gambler," "On A Monday," maybe some of the old cowboy ballads from "Son Of The Wind" ~ "Utah Carroll," "South Coast," (not sure if that's the name - old Cisco song, "My name is Juan Heneo de Castro.......the lion screamed in La Baranca......" oh yeah, and "All Along The Watchtower" on the uke :)!!!

OK Arlo, here's the deal. I just bought tickets to your show in Durham, NC in Feb, for my wife, her sister and bro-in-law, and myself. If our nieces are interested, I'll get tickets for them too. Yeah, it's a long way from Oklahoma, but my wife's family lives in NC, and we're going down there anyway.

Anyway, since I started this thread to begin with, here's my request:

"Poor Wayfaring Stranger". I don't care if you ever do it before or after, but just that one night.

How about "Lookin' Out My Backdoor" if you can get your hands on the rights? (Didn't John Fogerty finally bury the hatchet with that Saul Zaentz dude?.... I would think J.F. would be happy to hear you do that one). :mrgreen:

As for me...I like to be surprised...to see someone do a song I don't quite expect, like "Can't Help Falling in Love with You," though that's not so much a surprise any more...still, a great version of a good song. And I wouldn't rule out disco entirely...there's a part of me that kind of wonders what a Guthrie version of "YMCA" might be like...

But otherwise:

St. Louis Tickle and/or Anytime

Would enjoy hearing another Steve Goodman song (maybe "Moby Book"?)

Or perhaps the complete rap version of "Subterranean Homesick Blues"...

For a Woody song

I would like to hear you interpret some of the Mermaid Avenue material

I like way over yonder in a minor key but there is plenty of good stuff there.
