Big Band set list

[justBrian]

So, I play regularly in a big band--once a month at the local American Legion. It's a great gig. Most of the guys in the band were around when the music was written and have been playing it ever since. We get a good crowd of mostly older folks-- but they love to dance! Oh, the drinks are cheap and stong. So, here is the set list from the last gig:

It had to be You
Jersey Bounce
Heartaches
Allegheny Moon
5' 2" Eyes of B lue
Deep Purple
Baby Face
Jimmy Dorsey medley
Sunny Side of the Street
Birth of the Blues
Somebody Loves Me
I'll get By
720 In the Books
Nite Train
New York, New York
Kansas City
Sentimental (over you)
Rose Room
Hot ChaChaCha
Woodchopper's Ball
Tennessee Waltz
Red Roses for a Blue Lady
Jambalaya
St. Louis Blues
Don't Get Around Much
In The Mood
Eager Beaver
Leap Frog
Cab Driver
Paper Moon
Spanish Eyes
Bye Bye Blackbird
Old Bill
String Of Pearls
Charmaine
My Baby Just Cares for me
Embraceable You
Strip Polka

We do play many of the same songs each month, but there is a little rotation too. I really like playing this gig. It's way too much fun.

Good one Ken. There was a 92 year old woman at the last gig and she danced to almost every number.
