Hey, has anyone either deliberately or just by habit over the years put together their own instrumental tune, a sort of go-to piece if you're ever playing a short set?
I know a lot of players have their own take on Juke, etc, but I mean something more from scratch?

Jolene and I write our own stuff which is included in sets out live. I will play some bits and pieces if she is on a break esp when we busk outside in the summer. I like "Mellow Down Easy". ---------- http://www.reverbnation.com/jawboneandjolene
Everything I do is a signature song and at the same time I have no signature song. Making up all my words and music as I go along is the reason for this contradiction.

I play mostly originals. My 'showstopper' (the time in the show when the audience stops throwing fruit at me) is a Klezmer-esque piece I play on my low d harmonic minor, all harp. I've also got a little Irish sounding piece I wrote, but that has key changes so I'm less pull that one out (it also sounds better with a guitar backing).
My guitar guy broke a string and his batteries went flat simultaneously the other day, so this is what I did in the interim. A high G, Low D, some in between, finishing off with some riffs from Dr G.'s Sonny Terry lessons.
