I'm doing a gig at the end of the month and my wife has decided that she is going to join me. She is a very good singer. I'm not the most organized person. I have a playlist of thirty or so songs that I belt out. It grows and shrinks over time. They are just in a folder, and they are in a random order. They span a period starting probably in the thirties, all the way to now. A lot of them are sixties and seventies. Some eighties rock, some folk, some old protest songs from the sixties, some Bob Dylan, and a couple of popular right now songs. Just a bunch of songs that I like to play and sing.
I have three or four of them that are pretty easy to sing cold, that I warm up with, then they just sort of find their own way into my performance. It depends on what mood I'm in. My wife, who is super organized, wants to arrange and organize them in some kind of order so that we aren't paging through them trying to decide what to play. She thinks that maybe there is some rule of order for organizing playlists. I'm not looking for songs, I have plenty of songs. Anyone actually have experience in putting together playlists for gigs, and is there some formula for success?
Okay, just a warning you, if you give me something, I'm going to ask questions, like how you came up with it, how long you have been using it, and why you think that it works. Thanks all.
