So there's this cafe that opened out here in Vallejo, which is in the Bay. They are looking for local entertainment and aren't charging anything, so I thought I'd call them. And now I will be there 2 saturdays every month. The only thing is that I'm going to be playing my acoustic guitar and singing. More of an India Arie/Lauryn Hill type of feel.

But I think it's going to be fun and all that.


So I wanted to know if there were any songs that you guys can suggest I do? I know that you all don't only listen to rap. I want to bring a variety of songs.

well you talking about your OWN songs our like songs from other cats aswell?

naw not rap man..its all singin.

so far im already doing an india arie song, a song from this local dude and that jason mraz song "im yours"

^^
w/ an acoustic guitar? dont see that happenin. maybe thugs mansion- 2pac would be possible. but for none rap i'd mess wit some john mayer (comfortable), ben harper, jack johnson, or counting crows. or for sure some sublime yo. or "sittin at a bar"- rehab. wycleaf jean " gone til november". if i could play a guitar i'd play those and prolly some dave mathews. or just try to find some chords thats sound like some rap beats and rap dem songs like phish " gin and juice" how they took snoop doggs song and made it their own genre time thang.
