”Come on up to the house” is great fun to play on the piano as well - nice swing feel. Impossible to match Tom’s singing

An ex used to make me play Hey There down the phone to her. Tricky with a phone jammed between ear and shoulder!

For just kickin back and playing;

The Eagles: Tequila Sunrise, Take it Easy, Hotel California
Neil Young: Old Man, Cowgirl in the Sand, Harvest Moon
George Straight: Amarillo by Morning
Willie Nelson: Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground
Skynyrd: Simple Man, Ballad of Curtis Loew
Some more that I can't think of right at the moment. They come out when I start playing...

It's interesting to see what everyone else likes to play when they're just relaxing.
