We do a medley of Rock Around the Clock/Blue Suede Shoes/Mean Woman Blues.
Mean Woman Blues was a great old Commander Cody song. |

The more versatile the band is, the higher the chance of some real weird combos.
I remember going from Waltz Across Texas right into Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy, and thinking that was pretty strange, but somehow it worked.

Below is a link of a live recording from about 5 years ago.
We go from Back in Black to Pin Ball Wizard and then into Folsom Prison, and the singer does them all in his Johnny Cash voice.

| Starting with Like A Rolling Stone... get to the chorus (1,4,5,4)..."like a complete unknown, like a ..Wild Thing," and keep on the same chord sequence for "Guantanamera", "Twist And Shout", "Sweets For My Sweet", "Get Off My Cloud", "The Joker"... and whichever others you can remember that fit... it'll dance 'em into the ground... |

I do a waltz medley. Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri. Call it the "three state waltz".

On Leo Kottke's "Dreams And All That Stuff" he plays a medley of "San Antonio Rose" which them morphs effortlessly into "America The Beautiful". This is played on a 12-string guitar tuned to an open G using a bottleneck slide. When I was reasonable on 12-string I figured out how to play this and it's actually quite straightforward. Haven't worked it out on the steel guitar, yet, but it's in the back of my mind.
_________________
The steel guitar is a hard mistress. She will obsess you, bemuse and bewitch you. She will dash your hopes on what seems to be whim, only to tease you into renewing the relationship once more so she can do it to you all over again...and yet, if you somehow manage to touch her in that certain magic way, she will yield up a sound which has so much soul, raw emotion and heartfelt depth to it that she will pierce you to the very core of your being. |

Yes, that is a great medley. I do a slightly modified version of that: Walk Don't Run + Secret Agent Man + James Bond Theme.
A medley I recently performed live consisted of: Jukebox Charlie + A Smooth One + Always Be In Love with You + A Smooth One (ending).
Maybe it's not a medley as such, but I like to do a transition from Deep Purple's "Lazy" into T-Bone Walker's "Stormy Monday". The ending of Lazy is a perfect intro to a slow blues.

| "In the Mood," with the lead ride going through "The Hucklebuck," "At the Hop," "Green Door," "Shake, Rattle and Roll," and anything else that pops into my head. Can't think of of all of them right now. |
