I perform at rest homes BGD with a group of ladies once a month.   We base our set list on songs that 60 - 90 year olds would know and can sing along with.  We mix them up and add to the set lists all the time.  So we presently have 12 different set lists and can mix and match depending on if we have performed there before or not.

When we go busking on the streets to raise money for children and schools to buy them ukulele`s at Christmas time each year,  we have other songs that we add in that we wouldn't perform at the rest homes as they might be to modern for that generation and they wouldn`t know them or they may be not suitable at the rest homes but great for busking.

Once we did a gig for a 50th birthday and sang lots of sing -along and very much dance songs and music.

We have another set list for Christmas time, which is always handy to have for the odd seasonal gig.

So the set lists are pretty much targeted to the audience we are performing for.

(Edited by Jandle to add in - in, sing - along)

Nodding in agreement 

Baldguitardude ............ comments left on sound cloud ..... fantastic cover, well done

beamer ................. that was very good.  Great job on your cover and you have put so much work into it!  You said your vocals were flat but actually, that just made it your own and suited your style.  The guitar work was awesome, must have taken you ages to learn that! Awesome job!  Hope we get to hear more from you

Well done Peatle, had a listen, good to hear your wife joining in with you on one of your songs.  Some really good lyrics in there and i like how your guitar plays along with this song

Such great stories and memories everyone  .................  really enjoyed reading them and couldn`t  help but smile at some of them ......... thanks for sharing

Whilst I have been to quite a few concerts of some amazing oversea`s artist, I never had the privilege of bumping into any.  The only 'tiny' claim to fame meeting was with a New Zealand singer/song writer Shona Laing.  We went to a winery in Gisborne and she was performing there.    Before she came on stage, i thought i would go find the bathroom and whilst i was outside the winery looking for the bathroom, i saw this cute black fluffy little dog, it had really curly hair and so i was calling it and trying to pat it.  This older woman who was outside having a cigarette and who obviously owned the dog was looking at me and said it was her dog, so  we talked briefly about dogs as I have a dog too.  Anyway, with that off i go to get my seat so i can watch the show and on comes Shona Laing and guess who i had been talking to    It was Shona but i hadnt recognised her as she had matured a bit by then and the funny thing was that gorgeous little black dog actually was down on the ground by the stage and from time it literally danced/pranced on all fours to the music Shona was singing making the crowd laugh.

Here is link to Shona through her years incase you dont know who she is.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHisJ8KyoME

Ok ... my attempt at a Chris Cornell song, called 'Be Yourself'.  I did a quick recording this afternoon as once again a busy day.  It is definitely nothing like the original but as I can`t possibly imitate him so I  made it my version.  Think I already mentioned, I actually don`t know his music, but do some of it now.  Here is the link to my version.
