Every crowd is different...there is no blueprint carbon copy way to get them going everytime. Knowing what to play takes years of experience. What worked last night doesn't nessessarily work the next. Your playing & singing ability is another huge factor also. You need a sought of "ESP" with the crowd to make things work & flow smooth in a show....especially Nursing Homes vs other audiences. Just keep doing what your doing and mix and match certain routines, theme related etc. that work more then others in these critical show developmental stages, make it your own...What works in my shows may not work for the next person because we are all different and its just an extension of who we are on stage.

Hang in there Good Luck
