Becky Reyes: Music & Lyrics

The songs listed here are the songs that I play at our acoustic gigs. Scott will occasionally accompany me. We're learning more songs together. I also want to add that these songs are songs that I love. That's where I started when compiling this list of songs. Over the years, folks have requested songs and though we don't have time to learn all your requests, occasionally one song will really stand out and we just know we have to learn it. Thanks everyone. Our little list is growing and every song we sing means something to us.

All songs are listed by the artist most closely associated to the song and by first name. You'll see some repeats.
