    Greetings!

    Tick tock! time is passing like crazy and I have to get some song ideas together for the steel drum band.  My favorite kinds of songs are Stevie Wonder, Al Green types, but I don't know how a lot of it translates to the steel drums.  Does anyone have any recommendations, or have heard any in person or CD?  I need songs for the aisle, and then songs for cocktail hour. 

    Some of my brainstorming:

    Etta James - At last, Beatles/Paul Mc - maybe i'm amazed, in my life, something, Stevie Wonder - for once in my life, isn't she lovely, (someone recommended You and I but i can't place it for some reason! and have no access to streaming music at work), Elvis - can't help falling in love with you, Jason Mraz - i'm yours

    Anyone hear these on the drums before? Any better suggestions?  THANK YOU!

    Van Morrison - Moondance or Someone Like You

    Barry White - Can't Get enough of Your Love

    Are they playing for the cocktail hour or the whole reception? I'm sure, if they've done weddings before, they could share old playlists with you that you could pick from.

    I'm having a steel drum band too! Here's what I want to be played...Bob Marley, Beatles, Jimmy Buffett, Disney songs, or top 40 songs would be fun during the cocktail hour!

    I can't remember where I heard it, but I remember a cool version of "Can't Help Falling in Love" (the Elvis song) done by a steel drum band.  I see you've already come up with that one, but I remember really liking it.  Was it an episode of Friends or something?
