Please believe me, I have no interest in advertising. Actually I’d really, REALLY wish to remain anonymous, TO ALL, so I have no want for anyone’s business here.
I do Chasunas and other Jewish affairs. I have my unique style, which I make it VERY CLEAR at the beginning, It’s basically not really unique, just a lingering relish of the music and style that was. And there is (believe it or not) a discerning clientele that appreciates such music. I will not do any of today’s junk that passes as music (or whatever else they call those exercising / trance sessions in the middle of a wedding!).
And the same goes for the volume of the music. I do have enough machines to make it pleasant, to make it a true simcha, to get people REALLY in the dancing…. but I will not blow out anyone’s ears. I feel it is always more respectful to request the music be made louder, than to request me “to shut up”. I ALWAYS start low and adjust it upwards AS NEEDED, than the other way. During the meal tablemates can converse with one another, having soft music played the way it was intended to be – in the background. During dancing, again, it’s louder, obviously, to be able to give the crowd a “lift”, it’s pretty geshmack (if I may say so), but you won’t go home with your ears ringing.
