Yeah, near me too. Decent Kimballs are regularly a “pick up.” Not going there. A multi use electronic keyboard is the only instrument coming into this house.
My brother bought a house. After the deal closed, they asked if he would like to have the piano. He agreed. I suggested he get a quote to have it removed then ask them to drop the price by half the cost of having it removed.
 
Wow - that's a tough one. Both songs are from another era/sensibility and would have a hard time fitting in with more contemporary material. All of our band-members contribute material to our set-list and usually the drummer is the most critical. (can't live w/o them, can't shoot them ;)) Would your typical audience like songs like those two? If so I guess you could arrange them in a more contemporary/palatable way.
I was searching for French Yeh-Yeh songs from the late '60s and stumbled on this - very old school 'euro' anthemic (and not French!) but could be fun to play. Only using it as an example of outdated material that would still be musical enough to be entertaining to an audience.

One advantage of playing with a non-gigging band. We play whatever the F we want, including our originals. Also, we make no money doing so. ;)

Well, we gig, we construct our set as we wish made up of any song we want to play, and we get paid very little. We have the luxury to do so because we all have day-jobs. Whatever floats ones boat. :)

We try to play to our audience. The drummer makes up a sort of set list as a guide. Usually about 3 songs in and we're off the list based on what they're dancing to and what requests we get. We also have a few regulars that follow us from club to club and we do their favorites as appropriate. Dunno what it's like out your way, but we get a lotta requests for "a line dance"; almost all women, looking like a not precision drill team. And there's always one who's gonna show the rest "the right way".:rollno: :wacky:

i’ve been looking at some other suggestions, we also seem to have a rash of Burl Ives up for consideration. LOL.

pearly shells, itty bitty tear, mockingbird hill, to go along with You are my Sunshine that is a long term list favourite.
At least these might work, and may work with ukes and guitar (over accordion.)

I remind myself it is what they like, not necessarily what I (we) like.
