Thought that was funny until last week when a lady, with a lot of tats, got all upset because I would not play Iron Maiden songs or Lady Gaga songs. Must be getting close to time for me to hang it up.

Deane just adapt with the flow.....in your arsenal have a little bit of EVERYTHING you never know what will occur....that's why these arrangers can do it all and have the included features....no harm making that lady happy with an mp3 Lady Gaga "Pokerface" for as few minutes to put a smile on her face that's what we do AS ENTERTAINERS .... SINGING, Styles, SMF, MP3's, it doesn't matter as long as you get the gig done and the audience has a smile on their faces! .....what we as players like doesn't matter it's All about the people after all it's a People business no matter how you look at it.....personally I've been always ready to do it all no matter what the gig calls for, I've been adapting for 45 years....versatility is the game today. Stay on top of it all or get left behind... Have fun and good luck.
