At the nursing homes, I like to start with something fun, up beat
and that everybody hopefully knows and loves. Something like Blue Suede Shoes, In The Mood, Rock Around The Clock...
However today, I started with Stardust. There is a very sweet 96 year old lady that just loves that song and always gives me a big so I always put in on my list when I see her.
For Latin jobs, we like to start with a bolero or bossa nova. something like Sabor a mi, or Girl from Ipanmea. However if it's a crowd that looks like the are ready to party, we go right to the Cumbias, Salsa, Merengue, Norteņas/Tejano (Mexican style polkas)
