;-) You ole chicken, Max.
Every event I've been fortunate to attend which had a band or a dj w
electronic music, has been TOO LOUD, no matter what kind of music's played.
Since schmoozing's a main enjoyment for folk of all ages, whether at bat or
bar mitzvahs, weddings, and the like, it's time for mini-brave folk of all
ages to tell the hostess and host that they'd "love to talk with you and our
friends, but the music's TOO LOUD to hear friends' words" etc etc etc.
Young folks do not intend disrespect, and they themselves likely wouldnae
mind listening to the sweet somethings of their dance partners---if only in
the dance interludes. Hence, do keep this in mind and be mini-brave.
Judy whose own son's wedding [in LA to a native LA woman] was dj'ed by his
'best man', a Chicago buddy----and the music was too loud so I told him and
them to keep it down to allow for hearing chats with those coming from
around the world to celebrate with their family and friends. It
worked.....for an hour or so.... <g>
Best, Judy
