I'm actually relearning these, I played them when they were new, not so much since then.

Been doing a lot of re-doing of songs since May of this year when I got more into acoustic guitar. Bulk of my playing has been on a Guild Starfire III, which is a nice guitar but I just like the sound of an acoustic. Currently refining:
Satin Doll - with an intro adapted from a Joe Pass idea.
Chitlins Con Carne - Kenny Burrell(sp?) adaptation; still needs more work.
La Vie en Rose - old time classic; simple but deceiving melody.
Motten(sp?) Swing - just starting to work thru this one.
Been doing a fair amount of sight reading in the jazz fake book to see what else I'd like to learn. PG.

"Blackberry Way" and "Flowers in the Rain" by the Move (two faves from my youth)

Might tackle the dB's "From a Window to a Scream" next...

I wish we had "like" buttons on this forum; there are so many great songs in this thread.

Anyway, here are the last three I learned (I think...):

Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo

Wayfaring Stranger

Drift Away

Been on a bit of a Woodstock kick recently, 50th anniversary coming up this summer, Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock", The Band's "The Weight" & John Sebastian's "Darlin' Be Home Soon".

Can't quite figure out how to do Santana's "Soul Sacrifice" on acoustic guitar, but I'm working on it...
