Killer set. Was so much fun. Peeps responded positively to all the silly oldies. The music doesn't have to be deep and sophisticated to do its job: evoking memories, creating a mood, inspiring good conversation.
Definitely one of the most fun sets ever. So many good "moldy oldies" :) Glad I gave you the idea :P
