A few months ago I got hired to do a once-a-month show at a nursing home on the West Side of Chicago. Lots of black elderly. They're not into the Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby stuff that I know tons of.
They really get into blues, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, etc.
I got some great blues styles on my PSR3000. Does anyone know some great blues songs and other songs like old R&B or boogy woogy that would appeal to an elderly black audience?
It would be a big help. I just got another call today from a retirement home that asked me if I could do a blues show in January. I said yes! I know four blues songs. I got my work cut out for me.
