This could be fun...

List for the group the kind of gig you played last. (Nursing home, club, outdoor concert, church, etc...) and then list the songs you performed during the last set you played.

I'll get it started...

My last gig was at a nursing home...

The last set I played was this:


The Wonder of you
Lady Madonna
From A Jack To A King
Could I Have This Dance
Sloop John B
Pretty Woman
Crazy
Beer Barrel Polka
Anytime
In The Mood
Amazing Grace
I'll Fly Away
Gimme Some Lovin'
Please Release Me
Rockin' Robin
Take Me Home Country Roads
Honky Tonk Woman
God Bless America

Comments, questions, etc. are welcome...I think sharing information like this helps us understand what other kb players are doing in similar venues.

Next?
