dan,
Most of my work is private affairs which is hard to apply the 40 on/20 off rule for my club dates. For continuous music its 55 on/5/off. I have to follow the flow of the party and try to squeez in playing between the dinner courses. They usualy don't want people dancing while waitresses are serving dinner except for lite background music. But I will make it up later on by staying on longer in the next set when people are ready to really pump it up on the dance floor. Hope this helps
