Mustang Sally, My Girl, Jimmy Reed (like Bright LIghts Big City, Peepin' and Hidin', Big Boss Man, etc). Everybody around here likes You Are My Sunshine, I Saw the Light, I'll Fly Away, one or more of which I do to close the show.

Don.....good advice...thanks. I don't know why I didn't think to tap into my 50's and 60's repertoire and probably definitely Motown.

Thanks also for reminding me it's about time I started updating my routine. I'm forgetting that a lot of today's seniors grew up with the 50's/60's.

I love that Carl Perkins stuff you do/did on your SD5(Matchbox, That's Alright, Mama, etc). I'd really like to integrate those tunes into my act. Unfortunately (or fortunately), many seniors around here are still in the "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" era.
