It's off-season up here now. Still doing my regular Friday set at the Sitzmark. There's a guy who tips well for Byrds' tunes and I need to decide on which one(s) to learn next.
Suggestions?
Tx, murph

My Byrds' set to date:
My Back Pages
Chimes of Freedom
Goin' Back
Old John Robertson
Mr. Tambourine Man
This Wheel's on Fire
Bells of Rhymney- play somewhat of a combo version: Byrds and the Alarm.

Also play RM's King of the Hill. Have messed about with Eight Miles High-will stick with it. I think Spanish Harlem Incident will be next. Again, suggestions welcome.

PS: The correct pronunciation of Rhymney is "Rummney", according to some Welsh folks I know. Although I often sing "Roomney"(rhymes w/ shook) when I'm pretending to be from Liverpool. I do a lot of Merseybeat songs as well, y'see.

The lists pretty well cover it, maybe for a dyed-in -the-wool Byrd fan something a bit more obscure like Chestnut Mare or Old Blue.
Or fool them with Andrew Gold's Space And Time.

Or, you could really fool 'em with the Byrds' cover of Merle Haggard's "Sing Me Back Home."

Forgot to mention; also do "He Was a Friend of Mine", but not very often. They liked it in Ireland, but JFK is practically a saint over in 'the ould sod'.
