Hi Bernie, I have used Excel spreadsheets for years to track exactly what you mention. I find databases hard to manage and enter data. One idea would be to have your songs down the left hand column. Then use a separate column for each location that you play, and write the date that you play a particular song.

For example if you played Amazing Grace today in Shady Palms, have a column heading of Shady Palms and enter 09/24/12 in the column. If you play it again in that location say on December 11th, your entry would be 09/24/12, 12/11/12.

Another idea would be to have a separate worksheet for each facility, again each sheet having your songs on the left column, then label the columns as the dates you perform there and place check marks for each song under the dates that you play.

Hope this helps spark something that helps.

Blessings
