Depends on the crowd and their taste in music. I am not a big Jimmy Buffet fan but people seem to be comfortable w/ him. Van Morrison's "Brown eyed girl" or The Doobie Brothers "Old black water" seem to work. These are suggestions for the "masses". Small groups like songs that they are familiar with - songs that they can sing along with. I play what I want to play but unfortunately not everybody likes to listen to the tunes that are less traveled. Good Luck
