Members Potts Posted May 18, 2012 Members Share Posted May 18, 2012 I'm always looking for good tunes regardless of genre. I've found the easiest way to do this is to exchange setlists. Any takers?Darrell's Setlist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SusieP Posted May 18, 2012 Members Share Posted May 18, 2012 I LOVE 'On & on' [stephen Bishop] - that line 'gonna toss up my heart and see where it lands' is FAB - U -LOUS.Obviously our Duo set list is no good to you guitar guys, different songs work for Duo's and also the UK charts etc have songs that the US audiences won't know.Do any of you guitar guys sing "Dance With Me" by Orleans? I love that song. I know it's meant to be a harmony song with more than one voice, but so are The Eagles songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Notes_Norton Posted May 18, 2012 Members Share Posted May 18, 2012 I don't do set lists, but prefer to call songs as my instincts and experience tells me what I hope the audience wants next. I watch the crowd, the dancers and the listeners, see what they are reacting to. Do they need another fast one? Or are they tired? Do they want a ballroom dance? Listening song? Comedy? Whatever? The way I run my backing tracks, I can make my decision during the last 10 seconds of the song I am playing and still get to the next song immediately if I need to (this is especially important when the dance floor is full).But I do have an entire song list here http://www.s-cats.comAnd if you are interested on how I run the backing tracks on stage http://www.nortonmusic.com/backing_tracks.html - also how I make them and more thoughts about set lists can be read or ignored on that page.Insights and incites by Notes ?

The more fun you are having, the more the audience will reflect that. I enjoy playing it too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally Posted by Potts I would imagine we're all that way...I dont think I've ever seen a solo performer use a setlist. setlist, songlist, tomato, toMAto I kinda do a combination of both. Using Sonar to play my tracks, I do have a setlist window, where with one tap of the spacebar, I can launch into the next tune after one finishes. But I can adjust the setlist on the fly by dragging and dropping the order when I have requests or when I think another song will work better at the moment.All my songs are right there on a list so I can pick them, not wondering what to play next.

Leilani and I put together a set list that featured songs that we thought would be the favorites of the ages of the vets we saw wheeling around there. Setting up equipment we got a few requests.So when I started the show, the first thing I did was introduce ourselves, then told the audience that we had this list of songs all prepared, but we got a few requests while we were setting up so we are going to throw the set list away, play the requests, and wing it for the rest of the show. We got immediate applause for that and we played for our hour, threw in a few extra tunes, and felt good about bringing some diversion to the people who gave so much for our country.I also have a page on my web site, optimized for smart phones, where people can request songs that we know. I omitted a lot of the information to make it easier and quicker to download, and I didn't include songs that are part of medleys.Not many people use it though. But the few that do seem to enjoy it.I see a lot of great songs on other people's song lists. Many of them are already on our long list of songs to learn, and others have just been added.Notes ?
