Music Choice Cable Channels; What You Don't Know

Image via Wikipedia

One way to avoid spending money online and buying "iTunes downloads" or even the slightly almost out of style CD purchase - is to tune into the channels that you usually skip over on your Cable TV. 


(I so wanna sing that part in "Money For Nothing" by the Dire Straits - HAHA!)


Being a great DJ for your party can be super easy. Granted, you COULD go with that 67 year old accordionist for 20 bucks an hour for the first 5 hours, but we know how that would end. Well, the party probably wouldn't even get started. 


SO! Here's an alternative that works. Turn on your TV and see if you have the "Music Choice" service with your local cable provider. It's usually the channels you normally skip through! :o)


These select channels GIVE you your time back to actually enjoy your own party. Also, you can concentrate on being the host that everyone knows you are. When you have to "juggle" talking to each guest at your party, it helps to ICE BREAK as well about favorite types of music first. Or even what people "DON'T" like...i.e. the newest release by Britney Spears. Honestly, i can't think of the name, so i guess that's a good thing. Usually the radio stations ingrain our already information-overloaded minds with overplayed singles.


Moving onto the performer's reality: in the past, private parties that I've played for have saved by voice by having Music Choice service as a filler for the songs that weren't in my songbook. After the end of each set of songs, I'd take a break - the coversation would thicken and enrich and, some "chill music" would "volume up" in everyone's background. 


Another reason why MC is awesome is that guests will ask for requests or different songs by artists/bands playing currently on the MC play-list and you can utilize that to book more gigs and personalized set-lists for the requester. Usually people are pretty agreeable once someone chimes in with a song name the love. It's like lightning around the room. Volumes get louder, smiles stretch beyond happy and laughing commences. It's a cool sight for my eyes - to know that I'm helping people connect and have a good time.

=========================

A little musical history about me:

I began my life gathering interest from the songs and genres that my mother loved. Madonna, Lionel Ritchie, Judy Garland, The Commodores, Andy Gibb (The Beegees), etc. Then, when my mother remarried in the early 90's, my stepfather (who's awesome in his own right) introduced me to Hard Rock.


It was the beginning of a long love affair. I learned the sounds and sights of ZZ Top, Foreigner, Bad Company, Squeeze, Robert Palmer, REO Speedwagon. George had bscribed to one of those mail order CD collection programs. The ones that had super small stamps of each of the artist's current CD's. Honestly, it was like my own stamp collection! HAHA! I'd fantasize about listening to them all based on what the album cover looked like. It was almost always based on aesthetics.




My dad had about 30-60 CD'S in collection. I remember, it seemed so HUGE thinking back. I really didn't go to music stores to have anything to compare another collection by, so at that point in my life - it was what i used to gain musical knowledge before guitar lessons.
