I really encourage people to look at these styles. A lot of musical talent went into them.
From the standpoint of an entertainer for senior citizens here is the USA, there is not much at first glance.
There's a foxtrot that I'm already using for "Getting to Know You." There is also a good Cha Cha and a few polkas. There's a beguine that is a little sparse, but I might spruce it up.
What brightened things up for me was the discovery that several of the traditional Italian styles sound very very Irish. There is one that has an Italian name, like Gigliota1 or something, but it has a jig rhythm with accordians. I'm going to be going through these as the week passes and comes towards Saint Patrick's day.
Liscia Beat sounds like a rhumba/beguine. Definitely useable.
The slow rock style is heavy on the organ. I wanted to trade parts with another style, but it is in a rare timing, and it would require too much work.
There are some amateur sounding styles, some with just two parts, but many of them sound almost as professional as onboard styles. I say almost, because while the musicianship there, the studio work is not, you know sound engineering.
Anyway, great styles.
