Thread Name: CD song list Question???...
Subject: RE: BS: CD song list Question???...
Bob, what you need to do is to imagine you are new to Bobert's music and to imagine what effect the album might have on you, if you were hearing it for the first time. Which song sets out your store for you, as it were? I would put that one first. Then pick a set list, which you would want to listen to in sequence. The final song is your closing statement, so you want to decide which song wraps up your set. I think an album needs to have a flow to it, so I pick songs which lead from one point to another. It won't be your last album, so you don't have to get everything down in one go. You can make another good album when this one is finished and you have had time to consider what other things you have to offer a listener. Good luck with it. I am sure you will do a good job.
