My Saturday Night Was Good Too
It was an intimate reception--48 people.
The best part was from about Midnight until 2am, when the six remaining people danced the entire time. They were big Beastie Boys fans. I think I played PAUL REVERE three times. One guy kept coming to the booth and hugging me.
One girl asked me to play the "gayest" British song that I had. I played WORLD AT YOUR FEET, the "official" anthem of England's 2006 World Cup Soccer Team, by Embrace--they loved it!
Earlier in the evening, as this was a banquet room next to another at a Best Western, a middle-aged man from next door came and asked if I could play OLD TIME ROCK AND ROLL. So I did--it was either now or later. One lady in the party shouted, "You have to dance!" So I danced with her, too.
Honestly, I cannot wait until all the middle-aged men get old enough to NOT be able to come and request OLD TIME ROCK AND ROLL within the first half hour or so of EVERY FREAKING PARTY; and, often, it is within the first TWO songs--because I NEVER play it first, but so many around here think that it SHOULD be the first song played at EVERY FREAKING PARTY.
