Not only is it Friday (and we are so shamefully playing that song right now), it’s Memorial Day weekend and we are pumpin’ out the music for another great prom crowd here in Tewksbury. We’ve been as busy as beavers and have a packed schedule for the next ten plus days straight (or forward-however you like to travel)!
We’ve got every DJ we know going strong on events such as our weekly trivia, a new karaoke night, birthday parties, corporate functions, after-prom parties and wedding, weddings and more weddings!!…and it’s been like this for a few months now! Our FB friends may be able to attest to this, as this entry is the first blog we’ve done since April!!
A few “notables’ over the past two months have been:
We did a wedding ‘taster’ at the Publick House in Sturbridge for couples having their ceremonies & receptions at their venue. We did our first ever Boston Marathon gig, playing music atop Heartbreak Hill (and now I have that Elvis song in my head!).
We’ve also done a number of college and high school formals, corporate events and fundraisers, including some huge light shows and our ever infamous game show (another plug for one of my favorite little toys!).
Back in the SCE office….we’re continuing to update the Sound Choice Events website with new package options, language and features to make it more user friendly or just plain old easier to find all of our better than bubble gum services (nooo-you’re right, I really didn’t just write that—admit it though, bubble gum has a lot to offer!). Our FB is also taking off, adding new fans like hotcakes since making the decision to post all party photos taken by SCE right onto our FB site (shameless plug)!
Bringing it around to the equipment side of the world, this month saw us buying a new laptop, returning said laptop and saving our original laptop from the brink of extinction –thank you Costco! To keep up the fun, we replaced two subwoofers and an amp after a very large party where it seems the plugs were dancing to their own beat--meaning, jiggling loose overworking every bit of electricity they could and then for the grand finale-blowing (or smoking some of the kids like to call it these days—ha ha)! I know, we said it too, “really”? Apparently, a rare occurrence, it has been known to happen to novice and professional alike. While the subs did blow during the show, we had backup equipment that let us keep the music going without interruption …..“never let em see you sweat” yada yada!
As we leave you this fine Friday evening, we want to share a little current event music talk-- mostly because we were so trying to figure out which one of us owes the other money--ha ha! Our team of DJ’s had been in a furious little debate recently (ok, and for about all of five minutes) about the validity of those funny little rumors that Bob Dylan was the original creator of the song Friday, recently released by Rebecca Black, especially with the sudden appearance of “a lost recording from Bob Dylan’s Basement Tapes”. Check out the “Dylan” version of the song and click HERE to read the article about how that ‘Dylan’ recording came into existence.
Yes, of course, we realize that this is a ridiculous conversation, but so many people have been talking about and sending around this so-called “lost” Dylan song that we just had to put it out there. I’m not sure if the SCE team will ever agree on this issue, but we sure are trying!! Well, actually, since those in question have now been docked one gig's pay for even thinking that this was an actual Dylan song, I think we got it settled!
--Signing off from Tewksbury, goodnight Boston (wherever you are—which we assume is the same place all of our sleep has gone!).
