Someone earlier said "It's The Way In How You Do It".  We attract a young 18
to 90 yr old crowd (heavy mix on the 18 to 30 yrs!)and don't particularly
look for "new" songs, although we have a number of them.  However, we play
with great fervor (as they say).  If the complete club is on their feet at
the end of a song, you know they liked it!!  They don't have to know the
song, just enjoy what they heard.
