When playing to relatives and friends, I have learned to start out simple with familiar tunes to ease into the evening and sample the mood of the crowd.
I love Rodney Carrington but need to remember his writing is not for the faint of heart.

So what did you learn?? Maybe I can try to pick up a few of them 
Peace!

Hi Guitarpix,
How's life treatin' you? Grand I hope.......
I fell short of 25 song goal due to some unexpected gig loss-age. I got off to a good start in my 'home alone' experience but ended up devoting gobs of time searching for some new venues that were willing to pay a little bit of cha-ching. Here are few new tunes(to me) that are in my song family;
Heart of the Night by Poco
Beginnings by Chicago (when I'm with you-ho-ho)
Hungry Like The Wolf by Duran Duran (acoustified)
On and On by Stephen Bishop
Midnight Hour by Wilson Pickett/Steve Cropper
Share The Land by the Guess Who
Smokey Mountain Rain by Ronnie Milsap( punked out)
I Ain't Mad at Cha by Tupac Shakur ( still in the lab on this one)
When I'm Gone by 3 Doors Down
Beautiful Boy by John Lennon
I'm Not Over by Carolina Liar
Sittin' At A Bar by Rehab ( still in the lab)
All Summer Long by Kid Rock (Warren Zevon, Lynyrd Skynyrd)
Hold The Line by Toto (still in the lab)
I play to a wide variety of crowds from night to night so I try to know a little bit of everything( that won't get me fired ) to at least spark a tiny bit of interest from as many people as I can.
Peace and Guitars and The Jefferson National Forest and The Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway and The Gatewood Dam, (homeboy)

If we are able to meet in Florida next week or so, I hope you don't expect me to do what your doing! OY The missus and I will be happy to listen to you and friends. My playlist is a helluva lot more folkie! <grin>
ozymandias,
You just be sure to bring your guitar, folkie is very cool! . We can each kick back and listen to each other, as no long as you don't belt out any curse words or anti- Holiday Inn rhetoric ! (haha) This place is a family friendly locale. I look foward to meeting you and the Mrs.

I'm afraid Victoria is staying behind. I'd be seriously afraid of what the baggage handlers would do to her! As for the anti-holiday inn stuff. No problems, I usually recommend that place or Radissons when people ask. As for the condo we're staying at, I hope they have internet access. I'll email you the phone number before we leave. I'm looking forward to leaving the ice and cold behind for a week.
