Without feedback, I have no way of knowing what people like, not to mention 
that everyone likes something different anyway.  I personally can't abide 
country music, but I assume the music that I do like bores everyone to tears 
(like waltzes, who knew there's an audience for them?).  Rock seems to go over 
well (as posted by others in the past).  I try to mix it up.  In the end it's 
as many misses as hits (when I'm lucky).  Thanks again for your comments Judy. 
They are much appreciated.  I'll see what I can do next time.  
 
Andy

I preferred the waltzes the week before. :)

And I like Brindisi. Here it's sung by Mr Golden Voice
