Hi James,
that's absolutely beautiful.

I'm a bit of an Enya fan, plus I luv some of the new age music.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

best wishes
Rikki

I do different ones, depending on the venue/crowd...

I also play "Show me the way to go home", in others, I also use "My Way" I thing I have a nice arrangement(Very high production), and sometimes if is a playful crowd I do the "Loony tunes"... Tha-that-t's all folks....

Depending on the audience and "feel" at the end of the night...or performance at a NH...I have several closing songs I pick from including those mentioned above plus "Goodnight Sweetheart" (Big Band and Rock versions), "I'll Be Seeing You", "Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone", "The Party's Over" (Willie Nelson version..and occassionally the Peggy Lee version.

However, I found that if I do "For The Good Times" later in the evening, some in the audience think that that is the final song of the night. So, if I do it, I try to work it into the first set.

God Bless America and O Canada are also staples at the end of the night at some of the homeowner associations I work.

Yep, Goodnight Sweetheart Goodnight (McGuire Sisters) is our usual closer on the NH gigs. We also use The Casinos' Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye fairly often. There was one occasion at a Glasgow Rangers Supporters Club when we were about to leave the stage when the manager rushed up and said we had to play God Save The Queen before we left. Luckily, I've got a decent ear. Didn't want to start a sectarian war.

My theme song.

There is an inside joke with my folks that they can tell how bad the job is by when I play "Theme From Mash"-Suicide Is Painless".


If I start off with it, every one knows it's NOT A GOOD NIGHT!

Russ ... thnx for the reminder ... a number of years ago I used to mix that in with "Arthur's Theme" played with a bossa style ... would play the MASH theme using a flute voice ... You could just see that some people recognized the tune, but couldn't think of what it was ... ... gonna have to 'resurrect' that ...
thnx,
