Themes like Old Times

[RGMike]

April is a big Theme Set month: Tax Day on the 15th, followed by Earth Day a week later. I noticed on the Drive's site that Bob will be doing both a Crapton birthday set tomorrow and a "Fools" set on Thursday -- wonder if AL will do either of those. I always dug the "Fool" set and wondered why Dave let it fall by the wayside after doing it a couple years in a row.

Friday is Good Friday dunno what AL could do for that -- covers?

Possibly "Good" songs and "Friday" songs? I'm not sure... I think a religious-themed set would be out of the question.

I would love a "Jesus Rock" set, actually, since most of it would be from the '70s.

How about a set of comeback songs?

Bobby Darin, "If I Were a Carpenter"
Cher, "I Found Someone" or "Believe"
Santana, "Smooth" (sorry)
Elvis, "If I Can Dream"
Ben E. King, "Supernatural Thing"
Jackie Wilson, "Whispers (Gettin' Louder)"
James Brown, "Living in America"
Aretha Franklin, "Freeway of Love" (or "Jump to It," I suppose)
Frankie Valli, "My Eyes Adored You"
Gary U.S. Bonds, "This Little Girl"

She could just play the soundtrack to "Jesus Christ Superstar", which would be awesome.

pretty nice.   How about some songs about fish --- since Catholics eat fish on Fridays during Lent. 
I can think of only a couple, along w songs by Fish and Phish.  Maybe throw some "Lamb" songs in there, too.

We just heard Belly of the Whale (although I guess technically that's a mammal, not a fish). And there's Fisherman's Blues, and I think Primus does a few songs about fish and fishing.

I saw Les Claypool as a guest on a fishing show once (flyfishing some river).  Apparently, he has a whole album of fishing songs, wierd bastard.

We could add --
The Tubes, SuSuSushi (shudder)

Not really coming up with anything else.

ETA:  From You Can Tune a Piano but You Can't Tune a Fish, REO Speedwagon, "The Unidentified Flying Tuna Trot".

I'd add Joe Walsh's Indian Summer b/c of these lyrics:

...
Sometimes I'm still at the fishing hole

And you never needed bait where we used to go
Just a safety pin hook on a bamboo pole
Take the big ones home; let the little ones go (far away)
...

Steely Dan, "Throw Back the Little Ones"?

BTW, Jefferson Airplane, in their early '70s nadir, had a pair of songs called "Son of Jesus" and "Easter?"  I wouldn't recommend them for a theme set this week, though - they're bitter.
