Best Old Time Rock and Roll Setlist

After months of planning and dreaming, Carol threw her Tom Cruise Party Saturday night. It was a monstrous success. I had the honor and the pleasure of picking the music for the party--thanks to Carol's input I had plenty of hits from T.Cruise's movies and lots of crowd pleasers to play in between them. Plenty of party pics to be posted tomorrow, but I'll start you off with the most important thing that happened that night:
