[Superman]

I played a ton of bass guitar "back in the day" in several bands, then life got in the way. Life is now getting back out of the way, and music is flowing through my mind and heart again. Yay.

Aside from bass, which is my first and only true love, I can strum some decent six-string acoustic. Open Mike events look like they'd be fun, but would represent several firsts for me. I have never played a guitar on stage with more than four strings. I have never sung lead (only the occasional harmony stuff). I have never been on stage alone. So....it's kinda scary. My plan is to practice practice practice.

I need to come up with three songs. Not just any songs, but songs that will make me feel successful. Songs people will enjoy hearing. Please help me with some suggestions. Fool-proof, wildly popular, fairly simple songs.

I have a wonderful woman in my life right now, and the songs will be for her. Also, I am moving toward a more simplistic lifestyle. Back to nature, so to speak. There is one song I know I will do. Apeman by the Kinks. That'll be fun. I may also do Lady by John Denver, since I already know the guitar part, which is very pretty.

So....help me out. Killer, easy songs.
