Langenfeld/Perry @ Courtyard by Marriot, downtown

Wow, this was a fun one! I love it when a client likes The Shins, Wilco and Flaming Lips. It's fun to work those styles into Sexyback and Golddigger. It's a lot easier to do when I am playing great soul sets or white soul, "Small Faces, Rolling Stones, etc." There are few things more complimentary then seeing the Bride and Groom slow dance to "Jesus, etc" or "Do You Realize". The hardest part of this event was the fact that people wouldn't leave the B&G alone when a good slow song was playing that they wanted to dance to. Even when I announced that we were starting the 1st dance someone would come up and converse with them. Then Dayne gave the nod as if to say, "Just start the song so I have a reason to walk away from these people". Then at the end when I announced the last dance song, Mary and Dayne came up to dance and a few people interupted their moment to say goodbye. WTF, let the B&G have a moment together!
Mary and Dayne are a great couple and were an awesome end to my 3 gig weekend. Thanks for the tip M&D, I was able to enjoy a great Mars Volta show last week because of it.
