Like Danman suggested, and i think its a good idea, all attenders get to post 5 songs they want to play at the Roundup.
In some kind of fairly democratic spirit we then decide from a most wanted pool, OK.
And i get the honorary start:
1 - Something else (Cochran) 2 - We can work it out (Beatles) 3 - Anything StrayCatsy 4 - Problem Child (AC/DC) 5 - Gimme some lovin (SDG)
Cant get a proper list, how is it done, i know this has been discussed before but im to tired to do the search - i thought blank, or blank blank, dot or slash and nr, blank and then item, wrong i was.
Some songs you can all play along to. The bass player can sing all of these.
Folsom Prison Blues (in G)
Fishnet Stockings
Stray Cat Strut
20 Flight Rock
Wiggle Stick
What'd I Say (Cochran version)
Milk Cow Blues (Cochran version)
Heartbreak Hotel
Fade to Black (Dire Straits - not Metallica 
)
Cigarettes and Coffee Blues (Lefty Frizzell)
So far it looks like we'll be able to agree on some songs
OK, anyone else have suggestions? We might have to agree on a couple songs so there will be time to practise
I'll post mine later today. Haven't been home much so couldn't go through my CD and LP collection. And at my age I'm having trouble digging into my memory trying to find songs I would like to play. 
God this is hard. I have hardly been home, living off my laptop, so have no idea what I like and play anymore.
But how about this:
The Who - substitute
Straycats - runaway boys or double talking baby?
Johnny Burnette Trio - The Train Kept A-Rolling
The Cramps - Thee most exhaulted potentate of love
The Clash - brand new cadillac
Maybe 'wipe out' as a spare in case we have too few singers?
Oh god I where do I put these?
The White Stripes - dead leaves and the dirty ground
Neil Young - cinnamon girl
Hey, it's really starting to look like the Dutch GDP roundup... Seriously though, I wish I could go... hope you guys have a blast and don't forget your recorders and cameras. Show the yankee boys how it's done. 
Thanks dangerousman,
But you can just come: Get on a plane and come over. Then you can help us show those Yanks.
But you are right: there are still more people welcome and the more the merrier!
OK Boys, should we go for everyones No1 plus a Stray Cat tune? If so heres the Song list;
Make your choice of Stray Cat song, most votes win.
Hey Dr.Nyl, missed this post earlier.
I have no idea what is possible on the amount of songs we play. I thought/hoped we could do more, but maybe I am optimistic.
I didn't put my songs in any particular order. I have no idea if Substitute is something other people would want to play. Specially because I don't sing....... someone else wants to sing it?
Is it an option that people all give two favourites each of the others, maybe we then get a favourites list that everyone likes to play. Maybe I am making it overly complicated though. What do you say?
On these pages, nuthin is too complicated!
Danman, do you mean that we then will have 8-9 songs = 2 of each favourites + some extra.
Ha ha, I hope so!
Yes something like that. Then we take the top 8-10 songs that were chosen? Or do you (or anyone else) think that might be too many songs for one day?
The extra songs: are you referring to some Straycats songs? Of course maybe then someones songs might not be chosen which isn't nice of course. Hmmmm, lets give this some more thought. I like many of the songs on these lists so it will be fun anyway.
8 to 10 songs sounds OK to me.
We can always add a few Stray Cats songs as the bass player knows most of them.
So should all of us appoint 2 songs and vote for a Stray Cat tune, could that be the final solution?
Decision Time, i need to start practice!
You are right Dr.Nyl!
Do you mean we vote for 2 of our own?
In that case I think it will be:
The Who - substitute
The Clash - brand new cadillac
And for the straycats tune:
Straycats: Runaway boys
But I am open for suggestions because like I said before: Do we have singers? Is there someone (or more) that want to sing my choices too? Because I really don't sing. If there is a singer who wants to sing one of the other tunes, then I can also choose other ones.
And everyone should also want to play these. So suggestions are welcome here too.
I'm not a singer, but I sometimes pretend I am. If I have to sing I would go for these songs from my list.
Milk Cow Blues (Cochran version)
Fade to Black (Dire Straits)
I have to practice alot to sing so don't expect me to sing a whole set 
Hmm, I don't know about the Stray Cat songs. I will have to listen through them tonight.
Not vote, just pick 2 favourites of the original 5 everyone suggested.
Im dead serious about the practice thing, i have very limited spare time from now (started work today
) until the Roundup.
And as we also have limited time at the Roundup i really would like to get familiar with some of the songs we choose. Then we will have more time to chat & check out and try all the fantastic Guitars + beerdrinking.
BTW i will arrive at Schiphol around 9 saturday morning. And i think KLM allows guitars as hand luggage = 6128-1957 at the Roundup
You are right, I didn't really mean vote. I picked two of my own, that's what you mean right?
I want to practice the songs too and at least have some grasp of the feel.
I can imagine that at the round up there will be some distilling too. If we notice some songs don't work as well.
And yes, we do need time for talking and trying and beer. I might be getting a deluxe reverb 65 reissue this week second hand. If I do it will be there as well.
Great that they allow handluggage and 1957-6128's. We'll still be in touch about picking up from the airport. Did I put my mobile phone number in the email I sent you?
No phone numbers in your mail as i recall, but we will have time to exchange numbers.
And a -65 DRRI, now we´re talking amps!
Yes, I'm looking forward to it. But I haven't played it yet, so we'll see.
We'll be in touch as the time comes. 9 in the morning...
What are your choices? Something else I can play, but what is the next?
I'm up for anything, really. But I would like a final list soon so I can send it to the bass player and possible drummer(s).
Dr Nyl, can I get a list of names soon for the reservations for the hotel?
OK, THE song list.
Thats 7 and the rest of the evening will be joyful jamming & chaotic punkriffs.
Ratrod, i will send you a list for the hotel tonight from my home-PC.
ok, the rehearsals can start.
Great, looking forward to it.
