For Educated: I picked "Move it on Over" because of the beat. I never considered Bad to the Bone because well, quite frankly I was scarred by it in my younger days! haha..long story. You are right though. I have a very bad habit of playing what I like, instead of what the crowd wants to hear. I've been lucky with past bands and had successful set lists, but ran into cases where people wanted to hear a song (ie..Margaritiville, some Garth Brooks song and Sweet Home Alabama seem to be the most requested) that I never learned because I didn't like it. I also realize that as a guitarist, I may like a song because of certain licks that others may not even give a second thought about.
Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
