Back for Good, Ballad of John and Yoko, Be My Baby, Da Do Ron Ron, Daydream Believer, Dedicated Follower of Fashion, Delilah, Everyday, It Must be Love, Proud Mary, Rhinestone Cowboy, Spirit in the Sky, The Weight, These Boots are made for Walking, This Train is bound for Glory, Thorn in my Side, Valerie, What a Wonderful World.

We probably won’t get through them all! If anyone has any other suggestions of tunes they really want to play let me know….
