a new tune once a week only ads up to 52 tunes a year. Maybe enough to get through a 4 hour gig. In the meantime, what do you do in order to have a full book of tunes to play out with? .
I exercise a similar discipline, and if you add those 52 fresh tunes to the 1000s of songs you've retained from playing every year .... it adds up, and gives you choices. One thing I always did was try to never play the same FIRST song ever in the same room... it's difficult, but I'm still trying to stick to that. I'm sure that after years go by, I'll repeat an opener, but the regulars that show up each week will never be able to set their watch by my sets.
