Also curious - which songs went over best, and which were you expecting to go over better that did not - and why do you think that is, in hindsight ?


I've always heard from other musicians that James Taylor goes over real well; but his voice has a quietness to it that is hard to reproduce unless you have a LOT more vocal control than any of us who were singing. The songs that went over best were naturally those that we pulled off the best, and all of those were sing-along songs that you can sing with gusto. Pretty much anything by CCR, John Denver etc. VEHICLE by Ides of March went over best... partly because it came at the end of the evening after folks had been drinking for 2 1/2 hours... but that song was also a good match for my voice.

As expected, Margaritaville was well received. Shambala by 3 Dog Night also went over real well.
