Your Favorite Acoustic JB Song (from any album) but one that be reasonably done acoustically - you CAN perform Fool Button acoustically- but that would kill it.....so what do you think? As a bonus (tough choices) you can pick 2!

Well I picked only one (A Pirate Looks at 40) but my other favorite is "My Blue Guitar".

no " Tonight I just need my guitar"? That would've been my first choice.

It's not one of the choices but one of my favorites has always been That's What Living Is To Me.

I picked "Pirate Looks at 40" and "He Went to Paris" (which is where my sig line comes from).
But most any of his slower, 'soul-searching' type story/songs would probably work if played acoustic in a club setting. "Come Monday" would be another good one. Then there's "Love in the Library" (from "Fruitcakes"), as well as "Sending the Old Man Home" that didn't make the list.
Now, "Great Filling Station Holdup" or "Peanut Butter Conspiracy" — no. Just take my word for it.

I just can't see Margaritaville or CILCIA as acoustic songs.

Lovely Cruise and Coast of Marseilles were my votes, but I'd add Jimmy Dreams.

Lovely Cruise and Jimmy Dreams......My 17 year old likes It's My Job and was SO happy he played it acoustically at her first concert.

much like all of us, theres really to many for me to decide on just one. most of his acoustic stuff is terrific and each song is special in its own unique way. but based on that list, i really am still partial to a pirate looks at forty and trying to reason with hurricane season.
