OR, simply say "I'm sorry, I don't know that one, is there something else you would like to hear?" ...

+1 Tony! Yep - Of course, I have the PSR Tutorial "10,000 Songs" USB drive and I already know a ton of the oldies. A simple 20-30 seconds and you can have a style loaded. Or for many songs, you can just select a style that is appropriate and cover it.

For requests I don't feel I'm ready to try, I always say "If you come back the next time I am here, I will have the song ready just for you". Have done that with several customers and some of the folks now come every time I am there just for "their song". Got a few nice tips out of the effort too!

You can’t be expected to know every song out there.

Rikki that's is where your Mp3 player or laptop comes in..
not playing requests could lead to a disgruntle fan.

Hi Randy,
great approach, would make someone feel special if you’ve gone to the effort of learning the song for them. No wonder they come back.

Absolutely ...

Can't be expected to please ALL the people ALL the time ...
And if someone gets disgruntled because you don't know one song, that's no fan.

Maybe so tony but be assured they won't forget you didn't play it for them somehow.

Not forgetting - as bad as that might be - is one thing especially in the environments most of us play in ... But being disgruntled takes it to a whole other level ...
I am sure I have long forgotten requests that I have asked other musicians to play and they didn't know them ...
