Topic: JUNE 2026 FSOTM – MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

This month of JUNE we are looking for any song that has a MUSICAL INSTRUMENT in the lyrics or in the title for you to perform, cover.
It can be an ORIGINAL you have written or it can be a COVER of a SONG you like.

Below are a few suggestions that members suggested:
Mr Tambourine Man – Bob Dylan
She Bangs the Drums – Stone Roses
My Guitar Gently Weeps – The Beatles
Piano Man – Bill Joel

Let’s see what you all come up with …

READY, SET, GO!!!

Thanks! That song has been around for a while, I think that was written in my second band, and has gone through a few different variations of people playing it, but it's stayed basically the same ... here's a version from 30 years ago (the audio is v. bad): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LAXaFVpKMs
