Hello Everyone,

Thank you all for your response to my music requests. It is interesting to hear what regular tunes others play and I was thinking this could be another 'Topic' for this forum.

In my experience over the years, age and venue are a governing factor as to what I play (unless of course specific music is requested)and with this in mind, I have been thinking of compiling a 'Favourites File' for sometime now but have never got around to it, Maybe this is just the incentive I need to get started.

So come on folks! let's hear of some of the most requested/favourite tunes you play.

Looking forward to your replies.

Audrey

The tune that I live everyday now is: "Don't Get Around Much Anymore", but when I was active in playing for others the songs most requested were:

Dizzy Fingers
Bumble Boogie
Stardust (Artie Shaw's Version)
Sunrise Serenade
Carle Boogie

Have fun,

Larry Gosmeyer

2 lists Audrey - one for each side of the Atlantic.
My most regular request is Lady in red.
Rog

I am only a home player(as our Jam members will attest to) and enjoy music from the 30's to the 50's, both popular and country.

Bill and Larry's songs are the same as mine even though they are younger.

Hi Roger - You say "My most regular request is Lady in red".

Love this song, any chance of hearing your version OR will I have to wait until November at Cambridge UK?.........Joan

Hi there Joan,
The most requested song is Patsy Cline's Crazy when I play.
