Great subject here. I am a vocal singer and have decided I want to take my act on the road i.e., Seniors, Banquets etc. I am using BIAB Ultra Pak which has the Real Tracks. Man, this program presents great live sounds and I feel confident as never before that the musicians have performed wonderfully. My forte is singing standards with modern Pop/Ballads trickled in through out the list. I have been told my style is like Nat King Cole, my all time favorite is Tony Bennett. I am a Jazz Singer.

QUESTION: I play very little piano and I don't want to make a fool out of myself in front of an audience I plan to pre-record my repertoire I figure approximately four sets at with 5-6 songs a set. With your experience:
1. Are four sets too many sets and is it a good idea?
2. Since the songs are ASCAP / BMI registered should I just take donations?
3. Which is the best way to approach the director?
4. Should I push CD's (donations) since these folks are on fixed or no incomes?
