A musician has A WARHORSE song. Arthur Rubinstein had it. St Saens 1st Concerto.
We all have that.
My warhorses -
Piano - Bach C major Prelude -
Guitar - Medley C major
I started it
A next person.
This was Bill’s excerpt
“Lonnie’s spirit was in the room -- I could hear him bringing the house down with his traditional set-closeout of "Sultans of Swing." He freaking OWNED that song … sigh.”
I started it
A next person.....,

Hey Bob, I don't play in public much but when I do I have a couple of songs that seem to go over well: "Tennessee Blues" by Steve Earl and "You and Tequila" made famous by Kenny Chesney.

Plastic Jesus sitting on the dashboard of my car, and Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz, my friends all drive Porsche’s, I must make amends. All easy three chord songs, hard to mess up.

Summertime, by Gershwin. My arrangement.
It Doesn’t Matter Anymore, more like Linda Ronstadt’s version than Buddy Holly.

OMG, when I saw the thread title I thought it said "Musician has a Whorehouse"! That reminds me of the old joke about the sailor who was so dumb that on liberty, he spent the night in a warehouse. |

When in doubt I go with something by Lightfoot, then a train song.

There’s a ribald song
“ Barnacle Bill “
Who's that knocking at my door? Who that knocking at my door?
"Who's that knocking at my door?" Cried the fair young maiden.
"It's only me from over the sea," Said Bollochy Bill the sailor.
"It's only me from over the sea," Said Bollochy Bill the sailor.
"I just got paid and want to get laid," Said Bollochy Bill the sailor.
"Stop shouting at the door," Cried the fair young maiden.
"Just open the door and lay on the floor," Said Bollochy Bill the sailor.
"I'll come down and let you in," Cried the fair young maiden.
"I'll come down and let you in," Cried the fair young maiden.
"What if Ma and Pa should see?" Cried the fair young maiden.
"We'll fuck your ma and shoot your pa," Said Bollochy Bill the sailor.
"What's that thing between your legs?" Cried the fair young maiden.
"It's only a pole to shove up your hole," Said Bollochy Bill the sailor.
"What if we should have a child?* Cried the fair young maiden.
"We'll dig a ditch and bury the bitch," Said Bollochy Bill the sailor.
"What's that fur around the pole?" Cried the fair young maiden.
"It's only some grass to tickle your ass," Said Bollochy Bill the sailor.

There are tunes that I trust myself to get through without serious mistakes: "I Can't Believe that You're in Love with Me," "Pennies from Heaven," "Slow Boat to China," "Hobo's Lullaby," "Manha de Carnaval." Though the other day, I tried three times to start "Slow Boat" and kept sliding into "Pennies." Something about changes with diminished chords in the walkups, I suspect.

Depends on my mood.
