Returning Home
A little while back I visited my family for a very brief weekend and thought to myself, if I was a musician, how excited would the first show back in my hometown be? Maybe not to the fans but to myself, I think it would be pretty big. Needless to say I would be extremely excited. But amongst my excitement and my probably too long set list, I would want to incorporate a few cover songs. So I thought to myself, what songs could I cover that would best describe either my return home or my early years spent learning my passion; music.
After much deliberation I have come up with three songs that I would definitely sing. I could probably add more, sure, but I wouldn’t want to do more than four. Here are the three I chose:
“17″ – Cross Canadian Ragweed
“God Bless This Town” – Wade Bowen
“This House” – Adam Hood
A few songs I wanted to choose but were eliminated because of gender, such as Miranda Lambert’s “The House That Built Me” and “Mama I’m Alright.”
So I ask, what songs would you choose for your first gig back home? Or in the event it has happened, which songs did you choose?
