I really think he is a very lonely man who is starved for attention and some how life has taught him that any attention is good attention whether it be negative or positive. It's really more sad than anyghing
I don't know if he's lonely or not but that's not the way it strikes me. I think he's just let his ego get away from him. He has such a feeling of superiority and considers himself so much more intelligent than the others here that he thinks it's his right, no, his obligation to "school" all those in his path. If he'd tone down the delivery and use some common decency it might be useful to the community. As it is, he's just out for blood and remains the worst negative on the entire community, hands down.
"Schooling" others is the LAST thing on his mind, IMO. A good teacher knows how to encourage a student, and keep their attitude positive in order for them to learn. I used to teach in a community college, and the VERY LAST thing I would ever consider doing is insulting the intelligence or the motivations of a student. You do that, and you've lost them. Propubescent (or whatever his name is) is intelligent enough to know that, so teaching or sharing his knowledge is NOT likely what motivates him... this is.[emoji4] He has us all discussing HIM. Look back... he does this in EVERY thread in which he participates. All of them end with the other participants posting about HIS behavior, and the topic is no longer the focus.[emoji1] He has discovered the formula for getting others to put HIM at the center of their attention. Doesn't matter if it's negative attention.[emoji1] It's a WIN for him because he manipulated us.

Let's go back to the OP's topic then.
Title: Just spent the night making custom first dance songs for weddings
1st Post: I had my confirmation phone call with both of the couples I am deejaying for this weekend. One did not have their first dance song picked out on my form. During our conversation I asked, and they said they had been contemplating doing a custom medley with various sound effects between song transitions. They told me they would email me the specifics tonight, and asked if I could make them the song asap so they could practice (Thanks for springing this on me less than 72 hours before the wedding!
) (Overall, they are a very cool couple...Just procrastinating about their first dance)
The other couple is an Asian Couple...Very nice. They want an elegant black tie affair so I will be wearing my tux. They simply wanted a version of 1000 years cut short with a moderate fade out at a certain point. I did their song edit, and emailed it to them less than 15 minutes after our phone conversation. The last names of their bridal party though....OOOYYY...I'm in for a big challenge with that on Saturday!!!!
The other one I just got done doing, and it took me probably near 2 hours to actually get right before I finalized the edit, and emailed it to them. They were specific on song start and end points with various effects between and I wanted to make sure it sound good.
Now I gotta go to bed...Times like these I wish I wasn't working a day job.
Anyway, when you get these requests for custom made first dances etc, do you include this sort of production in your overall service fee, or do you require more money from the client for these type of requests?
I have never charged extra for this, but just wondering what others do.
