Adding to the Set List

With lots of time to rehearse, and our alleged gig retreating before us like a desert mirage (June 24 became June 25, and now looks like it won't be then either), we're adding songs to our set list.  It's not that we don't have plenty of material, but it's fun to rehearse every Tuesday, and we need to keep ourselves interested.

In terms of time, our original goal was to put together a 45-minute set.  Which we did, easily.  Then we were told we'd need to do two 45-minute sets.  Also no problem.  We played every song but one at the seminar party, and we played for more than 90 minutes.  But we're playing around with a few new songs:

• Gimme Three Steps (Lynyrd Skynyrd): a deceptively difficult song.  Yes, it's only three chords, but the leads and fills are not that easy.
• Foxy Lady (Jimi Hendrix): let's just state up front that I'm not taking the lead on a Hendrix song.  Nope.
• Cinnamon Girl (Neil Young): a classic - pretty easy and sounds good.
• American Woman (The Guess Who): on the theory that you can never have too much Canadian music in your set.
• Another One Bites the Dust (Queen): Machine Gun Joe wants to sing this one.
• Tush (ZZ Top): classic crunchy blues, and I can take the lead on this one.  And oh-so politically uncorrect, which will fit in perfectly with a number of other songs we're playing.
• Can't Get Enough (Bad Company): another one (along with "Mississippi Queen") that was in the Axys set list (how many years ago?  No, don't tell me....)
