    For my first solo gig in a couple of weeks I am learning/playing 2 Beatles song per set: Come Together and Nowhere Man.

    That's awesome! You play acoustic shows?

    I do. I've been in an acoustic duo since 2005 but just decided to strike out on my own. I'm still in the band, but since we both moved away from the condo complex we lived in, all we really do these days is play maybe 7-8 shows a year. I wanted to play more, so I'm giving the solo thing a shot.

    My approach is to have a mix of songs everyone knows with either obscure songs or lesser known songs from bands everyone knows.

    Some tunes in my list:

    Tom Petty - American Girl
    The Clash - London Calling
    Nirvana - Lounge Act, About A Girl
    The Kinks - Lola
    PJ - Black, Porch and teases of WMA sometimes
    The Ramones - I Believe In Miracles (both the punk version and the PJ acoustic version)
    Stevie Wonder - Boogie On Reggae Woman
    Phish - Wolfman's Brother, Suzy Greenberg, Heavy Things
    Neil Young - Act Of Love, Harvest Moon
    Talking Heads - Cities, Burning Down The House
    Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb, Breathe/Time

    ...but I can't give away all of my secrets ;)

    No, but I've played dozens of shows in my duo and over the past few years I've stepped into the lead role in a few songs that we play.

    There's an interesting poll/thread titled "No Code or Yield" going on over on the Porch and in it somewhere I said Yield with out No Code would be like Rubber Soul without Revolver. So just for fun, if you had to which would you rank above the other- Runner Soul or Revolver?

    It's a super tough call but I have to go with Rubber Soul because of Norwegian Wood and one of my all-time favorites, Nowhere Man.

    Ahhh, very good question Brian. Sadly I have every Beatles cd except for Rubber soul so I don't really know. But Revolver is easily one of my favorite Beatles records so I would probably go with Revolver. Norwegian wood is amazing, But don't forget about "I'm looking through you." Man that's a great song!

    Agreed. I almost had a mini stroke when I read that. That is a required album to have by anyone.
