Do you have a song or two that your customers have come to always expect from you? Is it an opener or a closer, or what?

I close with "Happy Trails" and my regulars always smile and sing along when they hear it. It's always proceeded by "God Bless America" but I don't consider that a signature song as much I consider it almost mandatory for senior events.The other'must do' song of mine is "Put Your Head On My Shoulders" because the ladies and most of the men love it, but I don't considerate a signature song.

I no longer use an opener, but for a closer I use Show Me The Way To Go Home--the crowds all love it and most of the time they sing along with me.

I'm not back gigging in Pubs fully yet, but any Restaurants I play as an instrumentalist they always ask me to play my own composition.

The local radio station have been playing it for a few years so it's kind of gotten a little popular.

Luis song"What a Wonderfol World"

Always first and last...

It might depend on the venue and clientele, but I generally will end with "What a Wonderful World" ... at one of my regular gigs there is at least one couple that ALWAYS wants to hear Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are" ... my person favorite to sing - especially if I'm out at a club/restaurant and I know the musicians playing there and they ask me to sing a song or two - is "Summer Wind" ...
t.

My stuff is all instrumental, so my main signature tune is "Last Date" by Floyd Cramer.

Another tune I play a lot is "As Time Goes By"...I usually end the evening with that song, or "A Whiter Shade of Pale."
