I'm going to be the entertainment at a party that is going to have a tropical theme. Most of the folks will be over 60 and very few of them will have heard of Jimmy Buffet. We hope to have a conga line. Any song suggestions?

Tom

How about "Jump In The Line" by Harry Belafonte?

Or "Hot Hot Hot"

And don't be too quick to determine whether or not they've heard of Buffet...

PS ... I have not HEARD these midi files ... just did a quick 'google'

Tom,

I was playin' fer 80-year-olds today that knew all the words to Margarettaville. Believe me, they know Buffett!

Tom......why learn new stuff just for one gig?..take songs you know & they already know and change the styles to adapt to the theme....use carribean, limbo, reggea, samba,cuban bolero, merengue, rhumba island, salsa & use steel drums, marimba, etc to make it sound tropical.. etc etc & also make it dancable as always!!

good luck

Donny . . . Good advice. - Scott

Thanx Scott.....
as you well know,flexability, versatility, dancability, & improvasational ability is the key in this "thing of ours"..

Jimmy who?

Hey Tom....there is always the Banana Boat song....Jamacia Farewell...Island in the Sun
and then put the lime in the coconut hehehe
