Song and
Play
List for Van Day
The listings below
represent a partial
collection of the songs
and selections that Van plays at all the different types of venues and
events, and in no way should
be considered a complete
listing. This is intended to
provide you
with an understanding of the wide-ranging repertoire he has. If a
song/collection
you are looking for is not listed, please don’t hesitate to
ask.
He plays
most all of the top and best romance and love songs and requests are
always appreciated.
If he doesn’t know it, he’ll know it by the time of
the job
(if he doesn’t
pick it up on the spot by playing by ear!)
