We're cool, Ted. Actually I called the Macedonian place to see if they were averse to songs in 4/4 or 3/4, and it turned out they were averse to paying for music in any time signature. So that's no longer my number one priority.

Next questions:

1. What are the best Italian songs? The ones that have already been brought to my attention are O Sole Mio, Return to Sorrento, Santa Lucia, and Volare.

2. About taking requests: how do you generally receive requests in a nursing home concert? I assume, Genie, that you generally play one set straight without a break. Do people sometimes approach you between songs with a request, or shout one out between songs? Or do you sometimes ask if there are any requests in the middle of the show and see what gets called out? Or do the audience ask staff to pass requests on to you?
