Hi John,

Your wedding party experience perfectly demonstrates just the learning experience I went thru a few short years ago as well. I realized that like it or not, I had change with the times, and that my role as musican entertainer needed to change to accomodate technology (karaoke, American Idol, et) and the contemporary audience expectations. Now, in addition to playing & singing in arranger mode and/or playing solo kb, I always keep my ipod handy with a song play list for those songs target audience want to line dance to and appreciate hearing the original artist recordings of it. I've learned, that if I can satisfy my audience this way, they appreciate (even more) what I play live for them in the subsequent songs following.

Scott
