Larry, I DID say something to that effect. I have a user bank filled with "bread and butter" styles that allow me to play almost anything in my dance repertoire. Specialty numbrs are another topic, but for basic, generic tuneage - I have had great success with a little tidbit Roland came up with 25 years ago called the "EZ Eight". It was an expansion card for the early E series arrangers and here is what it had:
swing2,8beat3,16beat3,disco3,waltz4,2beat,latinbeat and slrock2.
I've modified it a little over the years, but name me 10 songs, and I bet I can play 8 or more wth just these beats and my manual bass hand with RH piano chords.
