Thanks, y'all, for some great stuff. We needed a total of 3.5 hrs; now we're paring down from 7.5! Proud to say in my 70 minutes are selections from James Brown, Van Morrison, Booker T, Jr. Walker, Yardbirds, Pacemakers, TOP, Marvin, EW&T, Santana, OJays, Righteous Bros., Spinners, Stevie Wonder, Smokey, Ray Charles, and Commodores (Brick House!), and more. I really appreciate all your suggestions; it saved me so much time that could be better spend on mindless crap like invitations, decorations and food!

Wishing you all the best!
