Silk:
About another hour of music that I can learn and perform on Saturday. I've filled up one hour already; I'm slated to play for two.

Any genre of music, but something that can be done by one person with an acoustic guitar.

Suggestions? ; ;

Bookstore Guy:
depends what you like. groups like U2, Collective Soul, Incubus, STP, Eric Clapton, and even Jamiroquai have stuff that can be played acoustic and sound fabulous. Or, Flight of the Conchords if you want some silly stuff.

edit: Johnny Cash does a great cover of Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus.

Peter Ahlstrom:
Most filk music is one person with an acoustic guitar. Here is some. You could do The Horse-Tamer's Daughter and fill 13 minutes. (Just kidding.) Songs I would recommend from that page are Hope Eyrie, Fellowship Going South, Merlin, Ladyhawke, and Mineral Rights.

Silk:
Mostly I play/sing country, jazz and swing stuff, but I'm pretty much happy to do anything that's not metal or rap. (That'd be pretty hard to do on an acoustic, anyway.)

I don't mind silly stuff. I mean, I've already stuffed my playlist full of Jonathan Coulton music.  At least, the stuff I can get away with singing to a general audience. (No zombies, vampires, or evil overlords.)

Oooh, Eric Clapton. I wonder if I could learn his Change The World by Saturday? (Waaah! It's in Gb! Why is it in Gb?!)

Oh. Filk stuff! *checks it out too*

Thanks for the suggestions. Whee music!

Edit: I see Horse-Tamer's Daughter was played by someone on a 12-string guitar... That's what I play...

Also, after hearing the Tech Support song I'm tempted to write one of my own.

The Jade Knight:
You play 12-string?  That's almost a lute!
