Looking for Two Song Suggestions for the month of October.
One song from the UK and One Song from the USA – any song of your choice, from a band or solo artist, any genre.
Have fun, READY, SET, GO!!!
UK - I'll get around to it.
USA - Given that it's underwater, I recommend a category. Any song by a Texas songwriter. Some possible folks: Willie Nelson, Bob Wills, Robert Earl Keen, Slaide Cleaves, Gene Autrey, Rodney Crowell, The Big Bopper, and my favorite... Guy Clark. There are literally hundreds more. There's something in the drinking water that the rain water can't flush away.
UK - Tupelo Honey, Van Morrison
US - Texas Flood.
Might have to include Florida and east coast states in a few days
If we want a specific song, Tornado Time In Texas by Guy Clark.
Still thinking about UK. Does Cat Stevens count as UK?
Anymore suggestions? we are heading into the last week of September before October hits us
I know there are more of you out there that could make some suggestions
Steve Earle - You're still standing there
UK song - Father & Son by Cat Stevens. I think he was in the US when it was recorded, but hopefully you'll allow it. I've been helping my dad through the aging process a bit, and the song has taken new meaning for me these past months.
UK song - Father & Son by Cat Stevens.
Voting this one up, and "Crazy" by Willie Nelson (I think he did it? - or "All of me", if he didn't 
)

One, two.... as many as you like (I think). The purpose is somewhat to get folks to "stretch their legs" a bit and perhaps get off "the beaten path" so to speak.
I did like your Jim Croce rendition (same chords I use) and the second time through I played along. I fingerpicked and it sounded like a good duet, right up to the part where you used an A where I transition through C#, F#m, A..... I think my timing slipped (stumbled). Thinking I might use your rendition as a backing track and mix in mine (as a duet) and see what happens..... if you've no objection. I'll send you a copy of the finished recording for your approval. It's been awhile since I have done any recording, so patience please.
Thanks;

For Texas and Fla : DRAG THE WATER SOME MORE BY PANTERA.
