Play Lists

Welcome to the Play Lists page. I am creating CATEGORIES on this page that will either have the linked songs or will link to the blog page. There are SOOOO many songs that can fall into these categories – I will attempt to give you easy (and harder) selections to learn and perform – to cover all occasions. (If the name is RED – it is a LIVE LINK) Otherwise – please search the site.

AND remember – you will need special songs for: Church, Funerals, Weddings, Birthdays, Dedications, Holidays, Barbeques, even Parades – Ethnic Festivals and picnics. ALSO see the Post for Play list ideas – Link – Play List Suggestions

If the lists get large – I will create a PAGE just for that Category:
