Whats a Setlist?...

smarta** ... you know I never use one!

I love the music of this era and know most of them; I play many of them. But I think the majority, excluding the up tempo big band stuff , are great for listening to in your easy chair, but are a bit too slow for live performance if you want to keep your audience awake. And many are just for female singers. Great stuff too soon forgotten though.

There are almost no songs that are too gender specific for me to perform. "Natural Woman" is one that I'd sing every night, if I were female - GREAT song. Carole King's musical is coming to BROADWAY this year - exciting!!!!!!!!!!!

Just about all the songs on his list are songs I play for my Senior Venues. I get a lot of requests for many of them. Not many ask for the Kenton stuff but a few have over the years. I'll try to find out what this mans background is.

Of course that is the perfect venue. You can really make some of their eyes light up when they hear a song they haven't heard in much too long.

Hey Sparky,
That is what I do - get paid very well for it too!!!
