Last Dance - PART 2

In Part 1 I mentioned "Forever" by the Little Dippers. Of course, you can't play the same "last song" at every gig, so here are a couple more favorites. Like "Forever" they are somewhat sparce, simple tunes that won't force you to shout to be heard by your dance partner. 

Chances Are - Johnny Mathis  
What's to say? Great song, well sung. Perfect way to end the night on the dance floor.

Stranger on the Shore - Mr. Acker Bilk
Did you know this song was originally the title song for a UK TV program called...you guessed it: The Stranger on the Shore?
I never fail to get people who come up afterward and thank me for playing this one. Most boomers haven't heard it for decades.

Finally, I recommend "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye" by the Casinos. 
Another sweet, romantic song you probably haven't heard in decades. I just love this song...

          Kiss me each morning for a million years
          Hold me each evening by your side
          Tell me you'll love me for a million years
          Then if it don't work out
          Then if it don't work out
          Then you can tell me goodbye 

Yep. They don't write 'em like that anymore.
