Don't leave too much cash in your case. We've heard people comment that they were going to give us money but we had too much already so they'd spend it on someone else.

Beyond that (keep in mind, my last band was an old-time string band composed of four people who couldn't sing)--we got lots of requests for awful stuff like "Rocky Top" and "Mountain Dew", so on the rare occasions we DID sing, it was mostly country-gospel of some sort. Occasionally we'd do Hank Williams ("Mind Your Own Business", "I Saw the Light"), "Rivers of Texas", "Hard Times", "Columbus Stockade Blues", and I once earned us $10 by being cajoled into "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky-Tonk Angels".
