Well I was under the impression that the party had a theme. A Happy Hippy party.

That means the venue will be set in a hippy decor (think lava-lamps, carpets, beads-curtains etc.)
That means the staff will wear hippy clothing.
That (often) means the guests have already had fun at home choosing their hippy-outfits.
That means the music MUST be in hippy-style.

This has nothing to do with the age of the audience or the age of the birthday-girl. It has everything to do with the theme that person chose for the party. You will have to respect that. The hippy-scene had their own music. So some music may have been popular in those days; country music was not a part of the hippy repertoire here in Europe.

Citaat:

There are huge differences across borders too. Acts that were popular in the UK in the States may not even be known by nationals from other countries.



That is another good point.
Most of us here on the forum have a wide musical interest and therefor know a lot of songs other people may not know, simply because it's never been a hit-record in their neck of the woods.

@Sam: You may want to look into your sets again; there are quite a lot of songs in there that don't fit the theme. (Edelweiss, man of constant sorrow, streets of London, (the last farewell doesn't fit the theme, but is made for your voice, so go ahead )
