A couple of years ago I went to see Kenny Rankin. My friend and I were guessing which of our favorite songs he might sing. Then he started and basically said that he gets bored playing his well known songs, and so he was going to sing others. I was not very happy about that. Sing some new ones, fine. But fans go to hear a singer because there are some songs from their past they want to hear again, in person. And I do think there is some obligation to your fan base.
