Great to see something so positive. Made me want to come and listen, but it's a long way from Florida!

Great story Bill. As someone just starting out, I would be real interested to know what your typical playlist looks like. I would appreciate your sharing it. I'm trying to figure what will appeal to exactly the kind of crowd you played for. Could you send your playlist it or post a link to it? Thx, Russ

... a few comments...

The crowd was decidedly older during the earlier part of the evening, so I skewed the songs toward them. After the first set, I played more contemporary songs and had good success keeping the dance floor filled. I felt that I was playing a lot of slower stuff, but that's what this crowd was asking for, so why fight it?

I am currently looking for somewhat contemprary UPBEAT songs that I can work into my act.

Hope it helps-
