   Of course, unless they actually ask for some, but so-called 'sing-along'   
   songs that aren't children's songs are usually identified by the year they   
   came out and there are plenty of sites on the web that have some huge lists   
   of such songs.

   I Hate gigs like that ;)   
   Music is supposed to be Awesome, NOT uneasy!

   That's yet another reason for doing Originals...go forward with that and get   
   better venues, more pay, and be able to afford roadies, so you don't have to   
   compromise....I'm looking forward to the day when I can go onstage with a 9'   
   concert grand acoustic piano, a Rhodes 88 suitcase model electric piano, a   
   Wurli EP200 electric piano, and of course, a Hammond B3 complete with at   
   least 2 Leslie 122s ;)
