Camp fire music

An album to kickback and let it wrap itself round you after a hard day. For me Bonnie Prince Billys Master and everyone does the trick

I like to throw on some B.B. King or Johnny Cash.

I like to throw Westlife and Pop Idol albums on to keep me going. They burn with the brightest intensity and wrap me with warmth for at least five minutes.

Oh you mean AROUND the fire and not ON it. I'm stumped now.

Allman Brothers, and a couple glasses of Jameson does it for me

if i need to unwind after a hard day's work then it's all about Boards of Canada's - A Beautiful Place out in the Country EP with a left handed smoke.

How about some Jack Johnson

Here's a question... any of you play guitar around an actual campfire? What do you play? I've never done it but I'd love to play some Leadbelly or Robert Johnson or something.

Johnny Cash is killer.

Not really a campfire but we have a fire pit at the back of the house and quite often we have what I would call musical drinking sessions.

Usually, two guitars, maybe acoustic bass, djembe drum, two cabassas, a tambourine and a whole bunch of lyrics. Sessions like this often fail because most folks know about the first two lines of a song and maybe the chorus. This don't work too well I've found.

Favourites are Akon - Nobody Wants To See Us Together, Bob Marley - Stir It Up. U2 - With or Without You, Bobby Mc Ferrin - Don't Worry, Be Happy and usually as the night goes on, - anything by Elvis. Oh, and the last one we had, my daughter visiting from England did a really bad version of Sweet Caroline as a reggae song, (I know, that's hard to imagine, ha, ha.).

I know, these are not musical get togethers but what I would call drunken fun times with a little home grown music thrown in.

Gordon.

Oh and Black Magic Woman.... is a popular choice...

At least it beats pressing plastic buttons on a plastic guitar and pretending to be a rock star in front of a tv screen.
