Brain overload!! There’s too doggone many. I’ll have to say Darryl Webb absolutely burns down, Turn the page by Bob Seger. I’m sure someone will have some great ideas .

Yeah… there are so many! I thought I had a pretty cool arrangement of “Mothers Little Helper” by the Stones, but couldn’t sell it to the rest of the band lol.

Almost every Tom Petty and a few Bruce Springsteen songs seem to work…

We also took a mostly unsuccessful stab at “Sweet Leaf” by Sabbath — but I’m not giving up on them — I’ll find one that (semi) works sooner or later!

My old bar band did this a lot. Sublime- What I got, Dire Straits- Walk of life, Georgia Satellite- Change in my pocket, JZ- 99 problems, CCR- Looking out my back door, are a few I remember, of lots more. We also had to cover the Mumford and Sons stuff that was out at the time. Fun times!

Neil Young’s “Long May You Run”

Seven Bridges Road

Born to Be Wild - Steppenwolf. By Del McCoury. Promo photo of Del on a big ole Indian stick shift.

Has anyone ever tried , locomotive breath by Jethro Tull ? Train songs and cheating songs go hand in hand with Bluegrass.“ Ole Charlie stole the handle and the train it won’t stop going , no way to slow down “

After taking a shoot at
"In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" I settled on “Learning to Fly, but The Kruger Brothers beat me to it.

Nicely done!  Some serious mandolin and banjo shredding going on there!!! 
 

This thread sucks.  I'm this close to posting a WTB/trade thread for a Crossfire, Gold Tone EBM-5, or Nechville Comet... or Rickard Resophonic in all of its steampunk glory...

Depending on the circumstances, at some of our mostly BG/OT/Classic Country jams [performance, circle, coffee house style], I sometimes quietly  "request" Great Balls Of Fire as the guy approaches the hot seat, or takes too l-o-n-g making up his mind.  Earlier this summer, be darned if a guy didn't respond by playing it [... on his ee-lek-trick guitar].  Back to the drawin' board, I guess.

Whiter Shade of Pale, Procol Harum

I guess the award would have to go to Newgrass Revivals version of I'm Down.

i play lefty and in last band i had to stand on the stage left because the fiddle player had a thing  about being on the right ,,so me and the guitar player had to be on our toes so not to cross light sabres.

Banjophobic, John Boulding's early parody of Clapton, "Propane."

Terry saw you at Galax many years ago. You amazed me how you play a right handed banjo left handed.

...uh, how about Stevie Ray Vaughn's version of "Voodoo Chile" - or something playable enough for intermediates (without necessity to be stoned when playin).

Already done, Johnny B. Goode,
Tom Petty's, American Girl,
Del Shannon's, Little Runaway.

I don't count the hundreds of 12bar Blues
