Gaetano begins the evening crooning the standards, allowing people to settle in for the evening and slow dance to some of their old favorites, then as the night progresses, the beat, the mood and the rhythm of the night picks up as he moves into more up-beat, recognizable, danceable hits, and the party really gets going, with the crowd singing along with favorites like "Sweet Caroline", "Brown Eyed Girl", "Could It Be I'm Falling In Love", "Get Down Tonight", "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You", "That's The Way I Like It", "Your Mama Don't Dance", "That's Amore", "I'll Be Around" & "Don't Stop Believing".
