DJ ing a pool B'Bque at one of the very upscale communities here. Good money and it 12-4 which is great in case I want to do something that day. Also unusual as every other gig is 3 hours here. Did it once before and its basically backround music. I'm all the way at the far end of their very large pool away from the B'Bque setup. Women put their chairs in the low end of the pool right in front of me so I can't get too loud even if I wanted to. Kids may want a few currrent dance tunes but that doesn't last long. I asked if they wanted me to do a combo of keyboard and DJ and they said "no, just DJ' .
Playlist is all the typical Summer stuff with some current dance tunes mixed in.

Playing at a hospitality suite downtown hosted by the city, in cooperation with parade organizers. Then, back at the club.

Will also do a one-hour job with a 16 piece at the parade.

Not me, thankfully... the poor audience would be "gagging" if I mustered the courage to attempt a Gig! Hats off to those of you who can and do... and several of you do it so well! Break a leg... as they say in Show Biz! ----Dave Rice

I never worked on the 4th as it’s my daughter’s b’day and in years past, was the day we hosted a grand family reunion to celebrate. I did a double on Memorial Day, and if I were working the fourth, I’d probably use most of that playlist. I made a couple of quick midi files with Band-in-a-Box edited with the Midjay Plus; “ …Grand Old Flag”, “Yankee Doodle”, “Battle Hymn”, “America the Beautiful”. I filled with fun songs that were popular in during the WWI, WWII, Korea and Viet Nam 3-4 from each era - so that’s a lot to choose from. Also include “God Bless the USA” and “God Bless America” of course.
Ciao,
Jerry
