What a great thread! I ebb and flow. With the flow, it is important to MY FUN that I have a few back pocket songs to play. But it doesn’t have to be many. I have experienced few people really want to hear a full set of songs, just one or two they can relate to and connect with you. (Tony’s Benchmark songs can do that.) And so, then I am a guitar player. If then there is genuine interest you can do a few more songs that you like and feel good about. With the ebb, it is important to MY PSYCHE to just pick up my six-string friend and play some notes or phrases or chords or comfort and express my mood. And so, then I realize I am a guitar player with no comparison thinking or audience other than myself and that is enough.
