A few years ago I saw a video on TV of Dwight Yoakam performing "Suspicious Minds" which happens to be my favourite Presley song. I immediately went out a bought the CD and, in my usual manner, played it a few times and then forgot I had it! A week or so ago, for no particular reason at all, I thought I would play it again and I must say what a gem it is! This is helped by the fact that it contains some promising Pig material.. Not only "Suspicious Minds" but also excellent versions of "Things we said today" and "Here comes the night" - all of which I reckon we could perform and which would keep the Thicketeers dancing the night away....
While fooling around on my Danelectro one day, I stumbled across the main figure for 'Suspicious Minds', which was quite fun. I'd be totally into doing that one.
Having gotten a copy of 'A Hard Day's Night' recently, I'd be open to any of those songs as well. A personal favorite is 'I'm Happy Just to Dance with You', which we could dedicate to Diane straightaway...'Can't Buy Me Love' would kick arse as well!
