1. Money-The Beatles
2. You Got the Silver-Rolling Stones 3. Working Hard for the Money-Donna Summer 4. Take the Money and Run-Steve Miller 5. Money For Nothing-Dire Straits 6. Money Talks-AC/DC 7. Money's Too Tight to Mention-Simply Red 8. If I Had a Million Dollars-Barenaked Ladies 9. Money-Pink Floyd 10. The Money Song-Monty Python. Lyrics below. I've got ninety thousand pounds in my pajamas I've got forty thousand French francs in my fridge I've got lost of lovely lira, now the deutsche mark's getting dearer And my dollar bills would buy the Brooklyn Bridge There is nothing quite as wonderful as money There is nothing quite as beautiful as cash Some people say it's folly but I'd rather have the lolly [- From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/m/monty-...ng-lyrics.html -] With money you can make a splash There is nothing quite wonderful as money There is nothing like a newly minted pound Everyone must hanker for the butchness of a banker It's accountancy that makes the world go round You can keep your Marxist ways For it's only just a phase For it's money, money, money makes the world go round Please accept my apologies-I just could not resist! |

My plan is/was to dress up as an old blues musician aka Old Joe Porter, and play upbeat blues tunes from Robert Johnson, Rev Gary Davis, and Hot Tuna to include:
1) Hesitation Blues 2) They're Red Hot 3) San Francisco Bay Blues 4) Bread Line Blues 4) Tom Cat Blues 5) Prohibition Blues 6) Waitin' for a Train 7) I Am the Light of the World 8) Red River Blues 9) Search My Heart 10) Freight Train PS. Would love to find someone in Charlottesville to handle the vocals.....

As much as we didn't want to play it - a passerby requested Wagon Wheel and we made quite a bit off that one.

Best Busking songs
Hello,
I am English but do my busking in Summer in the markets of the Perigord south west France. My most popular busking songs are: American Pie - Don McLean Freight Train Blues - Trad Honey Just Allow me one more chance (From Freewheeling Bob Dylan) You don't know what it's like - Bee Gees! Don't think twice it's alright - Bob Dylan Catch the Wind - Donovan Promised Land - Chuck Berry Tangled up in Blue - Bob Dylan Jesse James - Billy Gashade Me and Julio - Paul Simon I use harmonica a lot so that helps my voice. Singing for a couple of hours without microphone makes it a bit croaky. No licences needed in the towns I visit. Best wishes all. |

Hi Steve,
I would put Ian Tyson's Four Strong Winds on my list of Canadian tunes.
