My setlist is continually changing, and I usually have 3oo popular songs on call at any given time, and I try to incorporate two or three new songs a gig. I specialize in singer/songwriter tunes from the 1970's, but I adventure far afield with classics from the 50's through today. I don't usually prepare a list beforehand, but prefer to read the crowd and go where the music takes us.
