While Diki makes some valid points, I agree with Bill... when someone hires Don, Donny, Bill and a number of others, it is for what THEY bring to the occasion ... I don't think playing a few line dances using mp3s or whatever is going to change that ...

Speaking only for me, I think its implied for each of those guys. The ability to wear both caps has its place.

I don't really looooove to do weddings. I don't really loooooove to play restaurants. I've done both...get calls to do both pretty often and for the most, I pass. If the wedding is a themed older style music then I might get involved, but I don't really need the work.

I'm not comfortable with midi files, I've tried...maybe not enough...just can't get comfortable with them. For me, playing the T2 over styles/sometimes acoustically/singing works the best for my situation.

I only use MP3s very rarely, and in very specific circumstances, such as I mentioned in my first reply. I have turned down numerous DJ job offers. I also accepted a couple because they were too lucrative to refuse.
One was at a car dealership opening a few years ago. About six hours of clicking MP3 files from a laptop for $200/hour, while I sat in a lawn chair and sipped soft drinks, ate hot dogs and watched people shop for cars. Sign me up for the next one!
I couldn't do it very often though. It's just not what I got in the music business to do.
I have more freedom now to turn things down that I don't want to do. There have been many times when I compromised my "musical integrity" to help raise a wife and family.
You do what you have to do.
