And no, I don't go to a lot of parties, either.
Especially not parties involving singing.
But good luck :D

Some genuinely nice choices there Roo ! :D When I was playing in a Blues Brothers / Commitments style covers band, Mustang Sally was always
great for the 'Ask a member of audience to join the singers' choice - and 'Brown Eyed girl' very popular. ( I hardly dare mention it Roo, but those two also sounded
great played on a Telecaster - through a Laney or Fender amp ; so forgive me, for I have sinned :) )
Can I add the cliche ridden , but show stopping obvious, that our Bassist used to do as a solo acoustic guitar number - and that is 'American Pie' ? Most folks ( almost ) knew the words - and the accelerating tempo-from sentimental to ballsy worked the audience well.
( * Edit : I see that 38th has already beaten me to that one ! :D * )
Eric Clapton's 'Wonderful Tonight' tended to go down well too, amongst (roughly ) the same age group.
Other than that , I would recommend you consider odds and ends from the Blues Brothers / Commitments back catalogue, as that stuff went down a storm at ( mixed aged ) Corporate and Wedding bookings . I may be
way off the mark beyond Roo's own excellent initial ideas, because like our own Dear PhillyQ, I'm more of a (Dinner) party animal, on the rare occassions that I am seen outside of my lair.
Solo Guitar Jazz Standards anyone ? :lol:
