I'm sorry, but after racking my brain on this thread, I realize that I don't have a fall back list of just 5 ballads for every single event. I might have a list running in the back of my mind somewhere in regards to a particular event. That's included with other thoughts in regards to what the first dance tune could be, what the hosts are looking for, etc. It all depends upon the type of event, the crowd, and what is going on at the moment. I just never walk into an event knowing exactly what I'll play. :confused:
 
Ducky I feel your pain but its rare for me and my friend Steve (aka Music Maestro) that we even go Ballad in a four hour event.
I typically cater to the older folks when playing a ballad I play Enrique Iglesias- Hero which works for most. I can bring most to the floor with some of the already chosen songs but Lady In Red will almost always work. Foreigner- Waiting On A girl Like You and many others fill the bill as well.
