Guys my age drank rye out side the dance and the girls were inside. We had duck tail haircuts, my buddy had a 51 chevy with the spinner thing on the steering wheel, and our boots were pointy. I mostly worked changing oil at a gas station. I just don't remember hearing much in the way of music except what my Mom played on the radio in the kitchen.
In the 50's | spent my summer on one relative or other's farm, and they had radios, but it wasn't rock and roll. In the 60's I was setting pins at a bowling alley, working at a gas station, and had little time for school dances and such, but if we showed up we usually stayed outside and smoked. I phoned up a bunch of guys today who go and they were kind of at a loss for suggestions too.
Our school did a musical and a classical play every year, I was in 3 penny opera (Mack the Knife), and played Hamlet.
Being the oldest of 5 kids I got tired of my cousins 2nd hand clothes, so I got jobs.

This description is absolutely classic, it's right out of American Graffiti, Back To the Future, or Happy Days with The Fonz. What's the music that goes with that scene? Chuck Berry, Elvis, The Platters, Fats Domino etc. etc. Ain't no big band stuff in there. Btw, I also had a ducktail and a 49 fastback Olds. I wanted a red 57 T-Bird in the worst way but no dough for something like that. One of the neighbors drag raced a black modified 57 and I though that car was just super hot. My father did get a 61 or 62 T-Bird with the swing away steering wheel. That was pretty cool.

Thanks, ya Mac, Whiter Shade of Pale is in a set I do with Love Potion #9.
B3 with the Ketron is very cool. Problem is I have to lug the computer or the wife's netbook to pull it off via the thru, or I need to find a manual and figure out if my old Roland/Rogers W50 can select the patches in the Ketron without band in a box sitting in the middle.

There's another way that will work with any keyboard. "Throw a wee bit more money at it"
http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/FCB1010.aspx
Program that Berry footcontroller up to handle your favorite patches, set the two expression pedals such that one is Expression for the organ patches, you can set the other for another parameter, try the Ketron's built in Wah effect for use with the Clavinet or Guitar patches.
The Behringer is inexpesive enough, as these things go.

Refocus here, John - your parameters: Quote:
it's a 'stag' so to speak, we talk about guy stuff
61-66 I played in a rock band in high school - up until the Beatles invasion we played guitar instrumentals, some Beach Boys (sans harmony), Louie, Louie. After the British invasion we switched to Rolling Stones.
I never hung around with the average Joe Ducktail, my buddies were musicians, so where the average guy's musical head was I don't know - seems he liked anything that would help him get his arms the female (like Roy O). Folk music was big in late 50s-early 60s: Tom Dooley, If I Had a Hammer, pre-Dylan stuff. What about Buddy Holly stuff? Funny though, I never really noticed any guys singing along at any gigs I've ever done - mostly the women - the guy joins in for her approval.
Find Billboard's top 100 for the sixties decade - and take some choices from there to augment the standards list you have.
Here's a question: If you're not a musician, what songs do you sing to yourself? Or do you? 
Cheers

There is a huge dichotomy here, the woodstove in the arena, the guys wanting to scoop a girl to skate with and whatever else, no way at the arenas they were playing CCR. It was waltzes, and old stuff. So us hockey types hung around arenas, and outside dances. I guess that the influences varied, and guys with half their teeth missing waiting for ice time to play hockey kinda liked the female skater types.
Then when | quit the gas station asst. mgr. job and moved to Toronto the hippie scene was in full swing but my girlfriend was at the Royal Academy of Music and I started hanging out at the old music library and at one point did every Bach cantata at a record player with earphones and the entire score in front of me. Then I went through Mozart piece by piece, again with the score. I couldn't tell you much in the way of popular music. I have noticed that many of my 'crowd' like the 60's stuff, and they are often the staff at the nursing home, where the residents may not know that they are there. I think I ended up playing staff arrangements and Danny Boy 3 times.
I look at the stuff I bought recently on CD/DVD and it's all Buble, Krall, Rod Stewart's great American Songbook, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Sibelius, Satie, with a few opera cd's for good measure. But I have lots of old folk music, Don Messer and even Walter Ostenak. hm....
If I don't play too loud at this 'gig', no one really complains anyway, I was just thinking about things in general. Probably everyone in the room had the motto "My Way". LOL

Interesting stuff John. They probably like the stuff they picked up (songs not women) along they way. Me and Bobby McGee - good toe-tapper. 'Fore I forget - check out Stompin' Tom's Hockey Song - big hit here in the Ottawa Valley. When is this gig?

They are still trying to nail that down. First week in Dec. usually. I'm heavy into practicing for our Brass Band Concert next Wednesday night, Land of Hope and Glory, Rule Brittania, (the easy pieces), Severn Suite (Elgar), British Folk song Suite, London Symphony, Nights Templar March, etc. Baritone Horn, darn hard most of it.
I'm going to start the gig work on Thursday, after I'm done the concert.

I'm young enough to be John's son, but I recall at one of the local roller rinks, in the early 1980's they would play organ music for 'church youth group night'. Roy Orbison would have been too risqué.
That's the roller rink that went out of business first.

In 64 my parents took us to a cottage on Lake Huron that someone traded my Dad for some legal advice on a property sale. I would be 14, or 13, I might have the exact year wrong. Anyway my Mom flipped because by the 1st afternoon I was pin-setting during the day at an outdoor bowling place, and a marshal for the roller rink from 6 to 11. Seen all over the place holding some new girls hand, and skipped all the family outings, came home with 50 bucks, and did a bunch of other stuff for people who gave me cash, "Hey M'am, that looks heavy let me carry your groceries", get a dime, or "I'll wash your car mister.."
I was trying to remember roller rink music, I was a weekend rat for a while, I think there was a lot of doo-wop, and Supremes, etc. Biggest Hardwood floor in the province, it was a converted hockey rink, kept the side and end boards, took down the glass and put in hardwood. I remember the guy I hung out with and I dated twin sisters, they liked to fool us, I move out of town and Paul married a black guy who was 6' 6. Freaked my mother right out. Found out later the girls flipped a coin, Paul drove them nuts fixing his hair every 10 minutes...I never had anything longer that a crew cut, and still don't.
My hair is like the road report here, bare to centre bare with slippery sections.
I wish the spell checkers would remember that in Canada it's centre, colour, humour, and that at times we extend that to other British stuff like realise, I'm always looking and saying to myself, 'self you spelled that in the correct fashion old chap'. The other thing drives me nuts that if you use Microsoft Word, the spell check program will say the names of their own products are spelled wrong. Words like Intel or Wordperfect, or Excel, and stuff always seem to show up as mistakes....

Sarge, who was the oldest toughest sob on our team was 70 and still playing when we started the party. He threw the salad at the caterer and set him straight. "We drink scotch, eat Tbones rare, fried potatoes, green beans, apple pie, more scotch. Rabbit food is for wimmen and rabbits."
My kind of guy! Leave the leaves out PLEASE!
Rock & Roll, John! Anything from the 'Million Dollar Quartet' and their ilk.
Last night I went to a fantastic gig about 2 hours out of town - Jerry Lee Lewis. With his little sister doing the supporting band act and playing most of his faster rockier numbers (he looks like he has bad arthritis now or something - certainly stiff and fragile). BRILLIANT!!! You should have seen the audience - 16 to 70. Most of them with DA haircuts, Teddy Boy suits, blue suede shoes or the bad-boy rocker type with jeans and a leather jacket with Doc Martins. And the audience MOVED! That is quite strange for an Austrian audience as they are usually sitting there silently and supposedly unappreciative until the gig has finished.
Jerry Lee is in his 70s, his sister is in her 60s.
So...
Jerry Lee Lewis
Elvis Presley
Johnny Cash
Chuck Berry
Little Richard
Carl Perkins
Roy Orbison
Buddy Holly
Bill Haley
a bit of blues:
BB King
Muddy Waters
John Lee Hooker
et al
and for the more English side...
Cliff Richard
The Rolling Stones
Beatles
David Bowie
Elton John
et al
For something a bit quieter, I would turn to the folk music scene:
Bob Dylan
Peter, Paul & Mary
The Seekers
Simon & Garfunkel
The Byrds
etc
Man! I have just turned 50 but I love the rock&roll era! I would love to be a fly on the wall at your gig. I DJ occasionally (when I get the chance) and the above would be my selection for such a party.
Rock it, John!
Follow That Dream Sam Karaoke King -------------------- Turning that corner again - I have to keep following that dream, no matter what

You nailed it Sam. Until I started doing a lot of jazz some years ago, this is what I've been playing on gigs since they were all current hits. The only thing missing is all the R & B Motown stuff. That goes along with it too. I work a lot with a young guitarist who's also a music teacher. I think he's about 35 or so. He loves all the classic Dick Dale and the Ventures surf tunes so we can be on a gig doing mostly classiz jazz but for a change of pace I'll yell out hey Tim, do one of your surfing things and whamo here comes Walk Don't Run and the crowd loves it.
