Thread Name: need advice for performing in old folks homes
Subject: need advice for old folks homes
OK folks I normaly do Celtic folk type stuff like the Corries material but when I perform at a nursing home I mix in everything from Glen Campbell to Flat & Scruggs to Woody Guthrie. I do these cause I know Old people know the songs, especialy Gospel type numbers BUT... When I look out in the audiance there are usally some Elderly folks of African heritage & I don't any material to amount to anything that they might have grown up singing. Do you have any suggestions keep in mind I ain't got no blues voice. I also would have to hear a recording to learn it. Thanks
