CLINTONS SUMMER CAMP-campfire songs

Hey CIA, I just wanted to throw this out there. For all of you who are going to Clintons Summer Camp on Saturday, August 1st, you'll notice that we've been telling everyone to bring their acoustic guitars for the campfire jam after the show. My question to y'all is, what songs would you guys like to sing and/or play?

If you add your "requests" here, you have to be able to sing or play the songs. (Basically, this isn't a place to make outrageous requests, like, "I wanna play some Metallica around the campfire!" That's funny and all, but I want people to be able to have a month or two to find some of these songs and learn them before the campfire jam.)

Here are a few that I LOVE to sing around campfires:

Take It Easy- The Eagles
Peaceful Easy Feeling- The Eagles
Amy- Pure Prarie League
Brown Eyed Girl- Van Morrison
Hurt So Good- John Mellencamp (sp?)
Jack & Diane- John Mellenhead
Own Worst Enemy- Lit (I like to play it in the key of E so we don't have to alternate tune our guitars)
Margaritaville- Jimmy Buffet

Daryl, you bet your ass we'll be doing that tune.

Roberta, ask and ye shall receive.

Jamie, you're killing me. I don't think I could do that song to save my life. However, we're up for anything! Even if we do the old "college try" on that one, we'll find a way to hack through it!; ▶ Reply to This

No, I can't even FAKE any Kansas songs, and as for Hinder's "Lips Of An Angel," I will certainly play that around the campfire if you show up to Summer Camp, Wied! Be there!; ▶ Reply to This
