James, I canāt rightfully claim that I knew the answer.
That said, when figuring it was likely not going to be obvious, such as AC/DC or Bee Gees, plus being a goodie for the campfire, The Seekers did cross my mind. But only briefly as Iād have not imagined them having a #1 song, even on the pop charts.
That said, I loved The Seekers, from age 9, as my parents had three of their albums. First enjoyed their rendition of Blowing in the Wind. Always like to read album covers so took notice that it was written by one B Dylan ā¦ whoever that was.
An entirely different band, Michael. I liked them as well as my parents had one of their albums. I remember āLook what theyāve done to my songā which may have been an original or cover. Heck maybe not even them given it is near 45 years ago.
I have been thinking about campfire songs lately. I watched a video that Justin did where he listed 3 types of songs to learn. One category was easy songs you memorize in case you are at a campfire. I have learned several songs but havenāt memorized them yet. I am thinking about choosing a few songs I l have learned and memorizing them. In this thread, people mentioned some songs I know: Take it Easy , Folsom Prison Blues, Country Roads , Mad World and Knockin on Heavens Door.
Interesting choice, Country Roads I think most people would know as well as Take it Easy. Folsom Prisson perhaps less so unless they are into Johnny Cash, Mad world fairly well know, as is Knocking on Heavens Door.
Like all things it depends who you are playing them to.
Michael

2 Metal Guru T.Rex
3 Stand by me

5 Its so easy Buddy Holly
