With experience providing SHOWS since 1990 these recommendations are made:
>> All the MULTI-INSTRUMENTAL SONG SHOWS like the FUNTIMZ, CRUISEY, AUSTRALIAN, and CHRISTMAS SHOWS are suitable and recommended for all special party events of all types including all seniors shows. Any of these SHOWS can be included in The ORIGINAL SONGS SHOW or The GUITAR SHOW when appropriate or as desired
>> The ORIGINAL SONGS SHOW with ACOUSTIC GUITAR & HARMONICA is for the crowd who want a low key cruisey folky country story-teller kind of show for any event
>> The GUITAR SHOW with LEAD GUITAR & MULTI-INSTRUMENTAL SONGS is mostly suited to events where a more rocky groove kind of show is desired as the guitar tends to sing as well as Linda, therefore tends to be a louder kind of show
>> A combination of all of the above SHOWS is for those who want a mix of everything throughout their event
