I need some fresh ideas! I've been playing the same stuff for a year now!. Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I'm performing at my mom's 20 yr med school reunion this Saturday, so I've been learning a lot of songs from back in her day & putting a Cat Power / Nouvelle Vague-like spin on them!. A few of them I already knew & have been dusting off, and some were brand-new to me:

Singing & Guitar
Man in the Mirror - Micheal Jackson (no weird grunting though)
Under Pressure - Bowie / Queen (1st song I ever learned, am scraping off the rust this week)
Closer to Fine - Indigo Girls
Songbird - Fleetwood Mac
Sweet Child o Mine - Sheryl Crow cover of Guns & Roses
Bad Medicine - Bon Jovi
The Promise - Tracy Chapman
Faith - George Michaels
Like a Prayer - Madonna
One - U2
Midnight Train - Journey
Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper
Hazy Shade of the Winter - Bangles

Piano:
Croatian Rhapsody - Maksim

I don't have any of them nailed down yet, though, & I'm sorta freaking!. Scratch that, I'm full-time freaking!. I am seriously "Under Pressure!."

: )

EDIT
Thx!. Maksim is an awesome, insanely hot Croatian pianist!. Croatian Rhapsody was composed by a brilliant Croatian named Ton?i Hulji?!.
