Montana-

Go to my website-www.billcorfield.com and download my song list.

Many of us who do a lot of NH business typically play stuff from the Big bands through the Oldies with some country, latin, seasonal stuff thrown in as warrented.

80 year old people were born in 1927, so they were 20 during the late 40's. They were in their 30's during the 50's and so on...

I strongly advise against performing a lot of pre Big band stuff because its too old for much of your target audience.

Also, usually NH audiences are more in the 60-75 age range, because the acuity level of most 80 yr. olds prevents them from attending most activities. So, if you focus on that age group, they were 20 in 1957...So, Elvis and other oldies content is dead on...

Its fun to think of this way because it means you can safely add in newer and newer material as you go along. In about 3 years, I'll be doing a steady dose of Beatles, Stones and god knows what else, lol...

Regards-

Bill
