I loathe the cheesy "especially written for weddings" music market, on the internet. I hate that some of my clients somehow seem to hear these usually godawful songs, pumped full of artificial emotion, but specifically written to induce sentiment from mothers of grooms or fathers of brides.

I could stomach it better if I didn't feel so bent over about them, in two ways.

1) While I have no problem buying music that I don't otherwise have, on behalf of my client and their wishes (see a different thread on that topic), these songs are usually "homemade" and would be rejected from consideration from even the broadest definition of the "mainstream" world - should I be expected to carry this garbage, too?

2) Ok fine, I'll buy it. It's an ELEVEN DOLLAR for one song download!

Eff you T. Carter, whoever you are!

All things considered -- what are you getting for the gig?

If yer getting say $1000 -- $11 bucks is not all that bad :)


What's yer ROI?
 
True. Point taken.


This is presently a song they're considering for this dance.

If they choose it, I'll relent.

But I still won't like it, or the business model that has this song costing eleven times what any other "single" costs. :sqmad:

Does that actually fly?

I can see a bride coming unglued at a statement like that.
 
Rob, with that kind of error of artist and title, you could be one of my brides!

I've never put it so eloquently but I do hint at them buying the hard to find songs. I've had the brides purchase them many times. They're almost proud of the fact they can get music that I can't. Hey, if it makes them feel good I aim to please any women. Well, almost any women. Those Big Mac sucking down ones I stay away from.:sqerr:
 
I have one currently that wants a song, that so far I have not even able to find it on a CD or MP3 to buy. She heard it at another wedding being played by a keyboard player, I can find the sheet music but that's about it. I told her she should probably come up with another song, or see about hiring a keyboard player, that I could pipe into my system.
