    Masterbilt Lua with Bright Eyes. Dave plays a small flat top acoustic, but still sounds like Dave. Proof that tone is mostly in the fingers rather than in the instrument.

      sarahct That's so neat; it's awesome to have a passion for something and find others who share it.

      sarahct Did any of your kids go through phases where they would freak out if you tried to play? My toddler goes ballistic if I so much as pick up an instrument (I've recently come into a cello and a banjo and I'm *desperate* to learn them).

    I love Dave's Ruby + Bells of Harlem, but I bet versions with Gil singing lead would be very nice, too...

      sarahct I imagine they do play The Smiths, if that conversation with Ryan Adams is any indication!
    • Masterbilt
      Brian1964Smith I know of over 40 songs that they've covered thus far and am interested in finding more. Time to start a new forum topic. Consider it done.
