Subject Medleys (So I don�t forget)

I have all my music and my registrations coordinated. The music are in groups of 8 songs, there is a number on the music corresponding to the registration bank and the where I placed it (1 to 8)

I have five a list of songs in my laptop display, each song has the corresponding number of the registration. Each list displays 35 songs without using the moving mouse. Each song has on the list tells me where the registration is located. Select a song and word or Encore (Music notation) comes to the screen. The five lists fall in different categories from sing-a-long to contemporary.

The one thing I miss on my KN7 is that you could view the names of the songs in all 104 registrations. While playing I would be able to decide what the next song is going to be.

Having said all that, that�s is what I fall back on when I�m am searching for a second song or a new song. We all have special songs that I call winners, those are in my head ready to go. They are the center of my performance, everything else follows. I do not like playing a set of songs, it takes from feeling the crowd, they tell you what they want next by the way they are reacting to your music.

If they are slowing down, hit them with one of your winners. If they have had it, hit them with something easy � but don�t give them time to sit down.

The best performance is when you have read the audience right, you played the right songs and tempos because you are in touch with them, you feel and select. Song-sets are helpful but they can also take you away from your sensitivity of the audience.
