A Day in the Life

Another Friend Down, in Paradise

Micah got hitched last weekend and is honeymooning somewhere in the Caribbean, no doubt swinging in a hammock and sippin a margarita to the crooning of Jimmy Buffet. Not so much Margaritaville as Hamburger in Paradise.

I took care of sound at the wedding and reception. The couple filled four CD's with what turned out to be mostly lovie-dovie slow dance stuff, like Unchained Melodies. Love that song, but it doesn't do much to get a floor full of young people hopping, and here in Spokane, the old people "young at heart" just don't hop. I had to listen to the songs ahead of time on headphones and keep skipping ahead to the faster stuff. Then someone told me to turn down the bass. I did. Then someone said that if it was any louder they might be able to hear the music. Meh. You can't please them all.
