I put a lot of this set together out of two big factors this week.
One; Labor Day.  I wanted to play a bunch of songs honouring various
people's labours and professions.  That aspect of the set was not
quite as thorough as it might have been, as my wife's mom just
passed away recently, and we're still reeling from the loss, 
making funeral arrangements, dealing with estate issues, etc.

Which brings me to the second major influence on the set this time:
Mominlaw was very very fond of Neil Diamond, and it seemed both
poignant and appropriate to give her a musical toast via a mini-set
of tunes by that (IMO) excellent singer/songwriter.

There were also quite a few other excellent requests made.  One
thing I love about taking requests is that my friends/audience 
usually have both excellent and excellently eclectic tastes in
music.  This makes for sets that are both excellent and excellently
eclectic.  Sometimes I can look back on my sets and tell at a 
glance who was there.  And sometimes I can look back at my sets
and glimpse a group mind that I could never have imagined, 
even though my repertoire is at it's centre.  Ultimately, each
set does develop a unique personality.  Still.  Even after decades.

Thanks to every one who tuned in and helped make this night the
unique creature that it was.
