Obviously, most of us are playing tons of Xmas songs right now...

However, before I went into "Holiday Mode" My set list...(And I use that term loosely) looked something like this:

Autumn Leaves
My Blue Heaven
Don't Get Around Much Anymore
Copacabana
Good Golly Miss Molly
Dream
Beautiful Ohio
Pennsylvania Polka
I've Got You Under My Skin
Green Eyes
Crazy
Route 66
Second That Emotion
I Saw her Standing There
And I Love Her
Hey, Good Lookin
On The Road Again

I use my full PA...(no monitors...) and I turn it up to a pretty hearty volume.

I know I have it just right when the nurses start dancing...

It sounds like a cliche, but when I play the first note of the gig...(really, ANY gig) I like to grab people's attention. At these nursing homes...these folks sleep most of the day. If you got poeple falling asleep in large numers...you should take a good look at your songs...
