Song Lists
One of the most useful tools you will need to have available to you, until you have a good idea of music from every genre and era, is a song list. These song lists can be a life saver when someone requests a song from an era or genre you are not yet familiar with. Also, it is a very useful and important tool when deciding which songs to purchase for your music collection. I use the song lists as a guide to help me determine what songs may work well with another song that I will want to play, so I will have two songs from a certain era. For example, if someone requested Elvis Presley’s Jailhouse Rock, I could quickly access the song lists to find a song that works well after it, like Wake Up Little Susie by the Everly Brothers.
