I seem to enjoy converting piano songs to acoustic guitar [View all]

I was working on Benny and the Jets last week when it hit me that I do a lot of piano songs.

Today I felt influenced to do Rich Girl by Hall & Oates. I watched an old clip of Daryl Hall playing it on his acoustic guitar on the Howard Stern show years ago. I didn't know it was originally written as Rich Guy, about a pompous, wealthy guy who was visiting Daryl and Sara Allen, but Daryl didn't think Rich Guy sounded right. I found it all so fitting with what is going on today so I'm playing it out and I'm keeping Rich Guy in the lyrics when I sing. It fits just fine with me in regard to the current events.
