Doing it differently each gig is another thing. Ahhhhhh whats the use & what do I know about dancing?..... have fun [This message has been edited by Dnj (edited 05-14-2010).]

[This message has been edited by Dnj (edited 05-14-2010).] Good grief... I've been playing Ballroom Dances for a long time and I STILL ask people what they play. You can always pick up tunes from others. The longer I perform, in fact, the more I'm comfortable learning from other musicians. About twice a year I've started threads on the SZ about new material people have added recently. It hardly means I've found myself on a stage and dumbstruck as to what to play, lol. Can you ever have too many good tunes to pick from on a gig? I don't think so... ------------------ Bill in Dayton _________________________ Bill in Dayton
