Good piano and guitar songs I could play and sing to?
Categories: Guitar | 4 comments
I play piano and guitar and have been looking for some songs to sing and play to. I love “Fly Me Away” by Annie Little, and I need some ideas. In iTunes, I always go to the Singer/Songwriter category, as those are always my favorite songs. I like that style. Help?
