I have an audience of 40 to 80+ year olds on NYE. A bit of a challenge music-wise...but I have played them before and been able to mix their musical eras pretty well.
AT MIDNIGHT:
After two verses of the tradition Auld Lang Syne I plan to seque into a HOT version of the ALS using Yamaha's Frankly Soul style. From there into Kool and The Gang's Celebration. Then, first slow song of the new year: Moments to Remember.
At least that is how I think I am going to do it. Everything is subject to change in accordance to how I read the crowd.

ps-- or I might do just what Fran is planning. I like that idea to.
