Mohammed’s Radio  [The band starts off with Wanda on bass, sax and vocals, Mark on lead, Jim on vocals and Steve on drums. This solo song is our version of a pretty Warren Zevon piano song. Although the vocals are in Jim's range, he is pretty frightened when doing this in a bar. The whole band loves it anyway. Like a fine whine, this will get better with age...]                   Zombie [ Wanda does a fine job singing this Irish lap dance song by the Cranberries. The whole band likes the way the music crunches forward, taking no prisoners and leaving no buildings unplundered.]                                                                           Honky Tonk Woman [ Great Classic by the Stones. Steve and Mark's attention to detail elevates this to a crowd pleaser. Alcohol in either the band or the crowd makes this a win - win. Drink early and drink often] Battle > Jet Plane [This twofer is one of the few songs remaining to the band's original vision. The original vision was to play fast, loud and talentless. This does not mean that it is a bad song, just a bit of a throw back. The beginning of the song is "The Battle of New Orleans" by Johnny Horton and the end of the song is the John Denver classic "Leaving on a Jet Plane". Both of these songs are done more like Me First and the Gimme Gimmes would do it that Peter Paul and Mary would.] Dixie Chicken > The End [Another tune that was originally played on the piano. Mark takes this over on the guitar, Steve makes the rhythm work sans bongos while Jim gurgles his way around the missing white trash background singers as Wanda hits "A" trying to keep this one on track. I bet this is more fun for the band and drunks than it is for the audience. Oh yeah, the lead and small drum solo from the Beatles song is welded onto the Little Feat classic with plenty of flux. For info on welding songs together, click here] Total Control [ Well sung sexy classic that I feel is much overlooked by the general public. I remember Martha Davis crooning this song to a piece of tape I had handed to her {I had peeled it off the stage at Stage West while she sung} and she actually handed it back to me after. Man, what a good sport. Martha Davis takes care of idiots and drunks. I wish I still had the tape. Bass is handed to Jim at this point to allow W space to do her haunting Sax parts.] Queen of Hearts [Yep, Juice Newton done with just a little bit of Stiv Bators thrown in. A chuggingly pleasant concoction of country pop and reckless inbreeding. The South at it's mostest. Intro > Crimson > Sweet Jane  [Fun, fun, fun with the audience's head. Full frontal of The Velvet Underground's preamble to "Sweet Jane" smashed directly into the similar "Crimson and Colver" truncated to end with "Sweet Jane". Bemusing.] Silver Springs [I love to hate this Fleetwood Mac song. Well sung by Wanda with undependable support on the backing vocals by Jim. Mark gets to play a new guitar when doing his pretty picking.] Funk 49 >3rd stone/bomber > Hocus Pocus  [ The James Gang into Hendrix into Beck into Focus. This is entered with trepidation. If something horrible is going to happen, it will happen here. Tread lightly. The band is riding on Mark's coat tails here. Jim is so proud of almost being able to keep up with him on the bass by doing 1/20th of the notes, while secretly dreading singing both "49" and "Hocus Pocus". We do get Sax by W as well as Kazoo by Jim. Then there is some yodeling... ] Ring of Fire > Backdoor > Drumma Godda > Sign > Backdoor [ This song has been called "The ring of Backdoor fire" but is actually a Johnny Cash song segwayed into a CCR song that is followed by a brilliant Steve drum solo complete with black men yelling and a taste of "Inna godda de vita" by Iron Butterfly, twisted into "I saw the sign" by Ace of Base and brought back into "Lookin' out my backdoor". This early staple is many minutes long and hardly anyone leaves because of it.] Sugar > Delight > Minds [OK, I guess it is Jim's fault that this one exists at all.  The Archies "Sugar, Sugar" transitions into Starland Vocal Band's "Afternoon Delight" and crashlands into Elvis Presley's "Suspicious Minds". Mark is on the bass at this time and Wanda is both Betty and Veronica as well as the black chicks from Tennessee. Steve keeps the original drum parts alive in "Minds" even with Jim trying to make this a Clash song. In the Flesh [Blondie's lost classic done cleanly with restraint and patience. Mark on the bass]. Rising Sun  > Hurricane   [More a Frigid Pink "Sun" than the Animals pluckier and more well known version. Neil Young's "Like a Hurricane" is started as the "A" chord at the end of "Sun" rings out, simply because we could not get Mark to play the song where it is supposed to go, after "Get Together". I guess all "A"'s sound alike. Once started, however, Mark will try to end the song after 2 of the 3 verses, possibly because this song is a bit out of Jim's range on the vocals.] Melt with You > Lovely Cruise [ Dreaded by Jim and liked by the rest of the band. Mark has stated that the second 1/2 of this song is his favorite that the band does. No accounting for taste, I guess. Very nice drums by the Steverino.] Oh Well > MTM [Moore fun than a barrel of Punkies. The elder Fleetwood Mac song with the theme to "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" attached like a Greek inmate would attach to a goat. W nails the MTM volcals] Get Together > Barrett’s Privateers     [Way timeless Young Blood's song followed by our only Capella song with Steve playing the Bar.] Lunatic/ I know You Rider > Numb jam  [This Grateful Dead tune ( this is where we say 'traditional' song so as not to get Marks hackles in a twist) is book ended by Pink Floyd. Just a beautiful thing. This song get the band in a very 'rock star' mood. We are pretty self pleased by the time this ends.] Blue Sky [ Truncated and sloppy as of this writing, but strangely beloved by many. When it is good, it is good.] Free fallin'> Love is all around [ Foolie begining by Tom Petty into the song mostly known by fans of the movie 'Love Actually' where it was turned into a christmas song. I think the Troggs did it originally. W sings it well.] Wild Horses  [Stones classic strangled with a fish tank hose and playtex yellow rubber gloves.] Out of Time  [You can still smell Joey Ramone all over this one. This was one of the few that was very good right out of the box.] Willin’ [W bass] Pipe Line > Pretty Vacant > Country Roads > Moon Over Marin   The Weight,  Wait, whatever   Should I stay or should I go > Train in Vain London Calling > Sweet Caroline
