I usually do at least a 1/3rd of the hour playing rock & roll stuff. It always goes over well. Intermix slower and different tempo material along the way. I start fast and end fast, lol...

The success of the hour I have with them usually comes down to two things. 1) An entertaining, mostly upbeat selection of songs and 2) Stimulating them through these songs, trivia, games, etc. along the way.

IMO, our job is to mainly stimulate through music. If a NH entertainer is able to get his audience physically, intellectually and emotionally involved during the performance, he's doing a good job.

Keep rockin, lol...
