This post is not about "music therapy" per se... But it is about an entertaining music experience that I had this past weekend while performing the music for my college roommate's wedding. I had the honor of performing all of the ceremony music for the wedding. This included playing the flute as well as singing and playing keyboard. Due to my part in the wedding, I had to work closely with the DJ, as he was running sound for the wedding as well as the reception. We will call this DJ - Mike - to make his identity anonymous.
First, I'm reminded of this song...
Here are my three entertaining experiences with him:
1.) I had to email some tracks to the DJ for some editing. I got his email which was dj****@unhotstuff.com . I emailed him and it came back to me with an delivery error. I called to confirm his email address and he - while sounding slightly offended - said "It's dj****@FUNhotstuff.com not dj****@UNhotstuff.com !" While I felt slightly bad for this mistake, I couldn't stop laughing uncontrollably while trying to end the phone conversation.
2.) After the ceremony was over I was trying to zip up my full keyboard size case which has both zipper tabs broken off. It was windy - the wedding was on the beach - and I was concerned that my skirt may decide to have a mind of it's own, so I asked the DJ if he could help zip the case for me. He replied, "Sure! I'm really good at zippers, as well as bras!" Smile and nod Jaime... Just smile and nod...
3.) While sitting at the wedding with my sister, we were doing the usual waiting for the bridal party to get there after taking pictures thing - entertaining ourselves on our phones - what everyone does now days. I grabbed my phone and had a text message from a number inserted in my phone as "Erin's Wedding DJ." The text said "Can the DJ flirt with you all night? :-)" I like technology and everything, but what happened to walking over to someone and TALKING to them... What is someone supposed to say to that text anyway? I figured that no words was better than any words I could come up with at that point... Again, smile and nod Jaime...
So, as I (in middle school and high school) LOVED the above song, thinking it would be fun to be "with the DJ okay?" This time may have passed... I want to thank this DJ "Mike" for noticing this new momma... To let him know that I appreciated the lovely song selection throughout dinner - which included John Mayer, Adele, Amos Lee, Jack Johnson, and Allison Krauss.
However... I can do without the Chicken Dance.
