Hello
I've been reading your link and it's fascinating. I play piano for ballet classes and I have just landed myself an audition with an entertainments agency for playing to the over sixties in care homes, sheltered housing and similar. I have a ten minute audition in which I will put together a medley. My ideas for songs in general so far are Winter wonderland

I can play all these by ear , but I may do a classical piece at the end from music to show that I can play the serious stuff too.
If you have any suggestions then I would be most grateful. Im also quite funny and didnt know whether it'd be appropriate for a joke or too in the music, I e a quirky unexpected link between songs. Also, do all care homes use agencies or can I contact them directly to set up a monthly singalong?
Many thanks
Marie
