TBone's "Acoustic" Tuesday

I don't know about you, but I can just picture our talented BB TBone taking center stage armed with only his acoustic guitar. He could perform the songs himself, but he elicits the help of his bandmates, because, of course, he's TBone. The music would flow from his fingertips. I'm not certain, but I'd bet good money he could play all of these songs and play them well.

Strum it, TBone.

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist

1. It's something unpredictable
But in the end, it's right
I hope you had the time of your life

Good Riddance -- green Day

2. Saying "I love you"
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say but if you only knew

More than Words -- Extreme

3. I close my eyes
Only for a moment and the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity

Dust in the Wind -- Kansas

4. I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean

Heart of Gold -- Neil Young

5. See the man with the lonely eyes
Oh, take his hand, you'll be surprised

Give a Little Bit -- Supertramp

6. So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell?
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?

Wish You Were Here -- Pink Floyd

7. Well, I'm a standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
And such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me

Take it Easy -- Eagles

8. In restless dreams, I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp

The Sound of Silence -- Simon and Garfunkel

9. Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know, it's been comin' for some time

Have You Ever Seen the Rain -- Creedence Clearwater Revival

10. The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

Horse with no name -- America

11. Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am

Stuck in the Middle with You -- Stealers Wheel

12. I'm gonna take a freight train
Down at the station, Lord
I don't care where it goes
Gonna climb a mountain
The highest mountain
I'll jump off, nobody gonna know

Can't You See -- Marshall Tucker Band

Crooked Tree, Molly Tuttle.

I looked this up. I was annoyed that I couldn't think of any women who would qualify. Without Google, I probably would have listed Eric Clapton. But, not only is there a Molly Tuttle, there is a Yasmin Williams, making me realize that the problem wasn't the lack of women in the bunch, it was my lack of musical knowledge. You go, girl!
