She said "Oh this year we are getting a "JUKEBOX Service" that rents CUSTOM selected styles on songs & music. You simply tell then what kind of music you want & they LOAD the Jukebox with many of the songs you like....then the audience can pick & choose selections all night long for less then what you would pay for an OMB Entertainer, Band, or DJ, etc....

Watch out people !!
As OMB players, we can not feel bad since we have been doing the same to a live band.
OMB replaces live band and MP3 player replaces OMB a logical progression.
Its only when you are the one being replaced you take the logic seriously.
When a OMB player replaces a live band (as we have been doing), we find all types of reasons to justify why we deserve the gig and not the live band. If it comes to a point when we are being replaced, would we still make the same arguments for the MP3 players that we have been making for our selves?
