The
Famous
Panama Jack & the HangOuts Performance Approach:
The
typical approach to most Panama Jack and the HangOuts performances is
to begin the night with music that the older crowd remembers and enjoys.
Moms and Dads, Aunts and Uncles, Grand Parents and Great Aunts and Uncles
enjoy recalling music from the 60's and 50's, even including a 40's
tune or two when appropriate.
These
dancers leave usually before everyone else, therefore their needs are
catered to first, allowing them an opportunity to shake a leg and make
an early exit filled with memories.
Next
comes show time or later dance tunes for older brothers and sisters,
and music for the the young professionals. Here is where PJ & the
HangOuts performs the music from movies now in video stores: Blues Brothers,
Animal House, Dirty Dancing, The Big Chill, Crossroads, Top Gun and
other highly recognizable and danceable songs the young professionals
recognize because of the movie influence.
Finally,
it's the Midnight Hour - Blues and Boogie Time. PJ & the HangOuts
leave the late nighters with something to yell about with tunes by the
rhythm and blues masters that started it all: Howlin' Wolf, Elmore James,
Muddy Waters, Junior Walker and the All Stars and more (the list is
too long to mention). Depending on the eveing and the crowd, PJ &
the HangOuts could leave you stomping and shouting for more, or blues
and mellow, slow dancing with that special someone, or perhaps laid
back in a good mood working on a night move.
