It had to happen sooner or later. I play 100% senior gigs - a lot of them. The problem for me is I could probably play every single one of them with about 50 of the very same songs. After a while it really gets boring. I have attempted to change things up but the folks complain that they I didn't play their favorites.

I remember in the early 70's playing with a dance band for 7 years and we played exactly the same music on every job in the exact same sequence. The public hired us because of the music we played and the sound. That got boring too. On more than one occasion we had reached the first break point and I didn't even remember playing the set. Talk about being on automatic.

What do you guys do to overcome the "bored" problem?
