Yup. That’s me you see. One thing that I pride myself in is being to like all different types of music.
. Last year, during Christmas time, me and 5 other staff members threw a Christmas party besides the normal party we get from the school. I figured “Why not 2 parties?“. Anyway, we all chipped in like $100 each and bought large amounts of alcohol.
- The party was held in the Cafeteria and we brought teachers couches and decorated it with Christmas lightsand served Cheese and Crackers.
- We had teachers as Guest bartenders.
- It was open bar for anyone and their friends.
- And I got to DJ!!!
. That was the best part! I was DJ Flex9 and I played Hip Hop, Reggae, Old Skool, and the 80′s! Of course it was thru burned CD’s but it went off real well and everyone complimented me on my musical selections.
So of course when my friend asked me to pick music for her sister’s wedding, I jumped at the opportunity to do so. Only bad thing is I need to have music for ALL generations.
. Well, my instructions were to leave the chessy stuff out, since the DJ will probably play that [i.e.: Macarena, Chicken Dance, Electric Slide] and pick some other stuff. So here was some songs I picked out. Lemme know if you think some are inappropriate for a wedding or some songs I left out!
