Time to rework the book for my events band again. It's been eight years, and I really don't want to see most of those tunes ever again. I always felt too obligated to make this some kind of oldies/swing band, but really, for the type of gigs we do, nobody cares. We can just do normal standards that are fun to play and the clients would be fine. We don't need to play Moon River any more. Satin Doll. Come Fly With Me. Forget it, I'm done.
We were also overloaded with too much stuff. Anybody foolish enough to bring a wire stand to the gig was in serious danger of dumping the thing. So I did a quick pass through my various real/fake books, and came up with this svelte collection of tunes:
Alice In Wonderland
All Of You
Beautiful Love
