A musician plans to perform 6 selections for a concert. If he can choose from 8 different pieces, how many ways can he arrange his program?

  He chooses the first piece from 8 pieces, the second from 7, the third from 6, ... the 6th from 3. So the number of choices would be 7*6*5...*3, but don't forget the encore.
