In 2013, I did a bunch of NH gigs, and I prepared dozens of tunes that I thought the clients would enjoy hearing as well as songs based on lists from the good people of this forum and many other sources. Everyone seemed to enjoy what I offered, but I could sense that in some cases, I wasn’t hitting the ‘sweet spot’ and I would ask, ‘Do you have a favorite song(s)?’ Of course, the responses varied a lot. But, I did detect a sort of pattern, and some were songs that I had discarded a long time ago. Songs like, Tennessee Waltz, Blue Moon, My Melody of Love, Bad Leroy Brown, All of Me, Music-Music-Music, Goody-Goody. I’m trying to recall as many of the requests as I can and revive, re-learn and re-work ‘em.
