The Sounds of Spring 2011
I put this together a couple of weeks ago, and sent it out to friends on the B-Sharp Facebook page last week – it’s my Spring 2011 Megamix, and it’s 35 minutes of the best music on the radio right now, digitally mixed in my new home studio. I’m really proud of this project, and the feedback I’ve received on it has been great so far. Take a listen – you can check it out right here, or click on the arrow on the right side of the player to download the mp3. Comments are welcomed.

Hawthorne Country Club’s 2011 Bridal Show – January 9th!
I’ve been super-busy in the past month, entertaining at holiday parties, class reunions, and a few incredible weddings. I’m also thinking ahead to January, and Hawthorne Country Club‘s annual Bridal Show on Sunday, January 9th. Sure, there are plenty of wedding fairs happening on the Southcoast in early 2011, but this one’s a must-attend. Here’s why: It’s truly the best-of-the-best. You’ll get to meet at least 30 terrific vendors, all personally chosen to participate by Hawthorne’s staff. You’ll also have a chance to win some incredible prizes (think big!) . Most importantly, you’ll be able to see firsthand what an amazing job the staff at Hawthorne does, for weddings and all types of events. They’ve made some incredible renovations in the past couple of years, and this is their 16th bridal show. Admission is free.
The 2011 Bridal Show starts at noon and runs until 3 PM. For directions or more information, please visit www.hawthornecountryclub.com
Alexis + Jon: September 10, 2010
Some of the best wedding receptions are those where the clients put their full trust in their DJ to make the party happen. That was definitely the case with Alexis and Jon, who were referred to me by Jon’s co-worker George (I was the DJ for George’s wedding reception last year at Rehoboth’s Five Bridge Inn).
The reception took place at Quidnessett Country Club in North Kingstown, RI. It’s a beautiful venue, with amazing water views, lots of room for dancing, tasteful decor, and fantastic service. They also have quite a few menu options – this was the first wedding I’ve been to where dinner was followed by cake, which was then followed by an ice cream sundae bar, which was then followed by a late-night pizza station. Needless to say, no one left hungry.
Alexis and Jon entered the room to cheers, applause, and… the Jersey Shore fist pump. Their introduction song, the wildly popular “I Like It” by Enrique Iglesias, was a perfect choice and immediately set the tone for the evening. Here’s where that trust comes in – the “must play” song list that Alexis & Jon provided contained lots of favorites like “Sweet Caroline”, “Shout” and “Footloose”, but it was entirely up to me to figure out how to fill in the rest of the five-hour party. No problem at all – guests were dancing as soon as dinner service had finished, and the dance floor was full the entire night.
Introduction Music: I Like It – Enrique Iglesias
Alexis & Jon’s First Dance: I’ll Be – Edwin McCain
Song played during the Cake Cutting: Sugar, Sugar – The Archies
Bride/Father Dance: Walk With You – Edwin McCain

LeBaron Hills Country Club’s 2010 Bridal Show: November 21st!
It’s just over a month away, so you’ll want to put it on your calendar: the LeBaron Hills Country Club 2010 Bridal Show on Sunday, November 21st. Now in its third year, this show features some of the best local wedding vendors – last year’s show had more than 50 exhibitors. This is also a great opportunity to see the grounds and function room at LeBaron Hills. Admission is free, and I’ll be providing the musical entertainment for the afternoon, with wireless sound in all three rooms. As expected, there will be quite a few prize giveaways, too.
The show runs from 11 AM to 3 PM. For more information and directions, visit www.lebaronhills.com.
