Tony - you're right. It's pretty depressing, isn't it? I subscribe to a wedding consulting service. Man, the gigs looking for DJs outnumber the ones wanting live music. What shocks me is that the budgets people are willing to outlay to DJs (vice live players) is on average about $300 higher. Maybe the reason they're willing to pay the extra $$$ is to get the DJ to do the MC'ing so they don't have to deal with "mic fright". I agree with you... a laptop sitting on a white linen table as the master of music is definitely a sad testament to where we are today. Still like the Bose side of the demo though.
