"Music should be healing; music should uplift the soul; music should inspire. There is no better way of getting closer to God, of rising higher towards the spirit, of attaining spiritual perfection than music, if only it is rightly understood."
-Hazrat Inayat Khan

a local group. I came to discover they wanted harp because they wanted
to do Roadhouse. It took me way too long to get it down, and I haven't
done it since, but I loved the harp feel in that song, too
that's raises an interesting point.  just as there are standard blues
tunes that everyone is expected to know, what are the standard
rock tunes that you are likely to be called up for?

i went to see a friend's cover band play one time, and they called me
up for a few, unexpectedly.  "roadhouse blues" was one song, i think
zz top's "tush" the other.  had never heard of "tush", and hadn't heard
roadhouse in perhaps 20 years.  i played ok, making it up on the fly,
but probably nothing like what was expected.

so, what are the rock "standards"?
