Glad to hear it Kale! There is a logical break between each medley to turn the page. So three spots in the middle for someone to make a few brief remarks. Dianne notified me right before we went on that she was willing to speak. I was pleased as most people avoid speaking in public.

I love these videos Doug. You keep the crowd engaged and let people tell their stories.

Thanks BrianQ! Elvis sang a lot of great songs, which made picking only three hard, but low risk. We want to choose songs everyone recognizes and then encourage the audience to sing along with us (a handout with the lyrics helps!). They rise to the challenge.

We just had to do an Elvis medley; plenty of his songs in our songbook!
