Favorite songs to strum and sing

[00Buck]

I don't do much strumming, but when I do, these are the songs I seem to end up playing:

Cherry Bomb - John Mellencamp

I Should Have Known Better - Beatles

Almost anything by Hank Williams - some of the best 3 chorders ever - but most frequently Your Cheatin' Heart

Me too, but in the last two duos I had, I played the dobro on it.

It's still a favourite of mine. Five chords in G. Think I'll go and play it now.

Well they all said Louise was not half bad,
It was written on the walls and window shades,
And how she's act the little girl,
A deceiver, don't believe her, that's her trade.

Sometimes a bottle of perfume,
Flowers or maybe some lace.
Men bought Louise ten cent trinkets,
The intentions were easily traced. . .

Blimey ! Me too!. Not sure it was the very fist or only song I sung to the lady I med in the White Horse pub in June 190, but it was certainly one that we both remember!

This is all interesting, but what I want to know is this.

I put up a thread about a guy playing a tune on YouTube, comment on the guitar he is playing in the video, and my post get moved to the PLAY section.

So why is this thread still here?
