Just when you think you’ve done it all!! So I have a story from last weekend that really threw me for a loop. I had the pleasure of DJing a wedding for a family friend Gilmore Car Museum last weekend. It was a beautiful Michigan evening and we were able to be outside for dancing. There were a lot of people I was able to see that I admire very much. Toward the end of the night the Party was thriving. We were all being loud, singing at the top of our lungs and dancing. We had pushed slightly past the end of night time frame when we were at our last song. Now I’ve been a DJ for 17 years and what usually happens in this situation is the guests are not in a position of wanting to go home. So…. You guessed it, I hear from the guests “ONE MORE SONG, ONE MORE SONG.” So being the seasoned DJ that I am already had one in the Que. boom I hit it, and the guests are getting down to the last song of the night. Now this next part is the part that really threw me for a loop. The mother of the groom came up and said we need one more song kid rock.. Now at this point, I’m thinking….I’m not sure what song to play that would be a great song for an encore, to the encore. So I simply say…..”Sure what song would you like.” She replied, “one more song.” So I said, “sure, what song from Kid Rock would you like? She said, “One more song, Kid Rock.” So I was thinking she obviously wanted Kid Rock, but I didn’t know what song to choose, so I pulled up all the Kid Rock in my library and said, “This is all my Kid Rock, feel free to pick one.” She looked at the screen as I scrolled through and then she looked up at me and said…. “One more song, Kid Rock.” I was a bit frustrated at this point, so I pulled up the good’ole internet and typed in Kid Rock and said choose any song you want and I’ll play it… I didn’t mention yet that I have a new trainee with me it was his very first day on the job. He has been my shadow all evening watching and observing the entire wedding. With his young eyes he points to the screen and says “there it is.” In my mind I was thinking he knew about the best Kid Rock song ever or something…… I looked at exactly where he was pointing and…….. sure enough there it was Kid Rock “ONE MORE SONG.”..🤣🤣🤣 Ya’ll I have never heard of this song before!!!! I thought mom was like having a stroke or something. She was requesting exactly what she wanted…. It was just not getting through my thick skull!!! It reminded me of the Abbot and Costello bit “Who’s on first.” I was getting so frustrated with this lovely woman that was trying to explain to my Dumba$$ the exact title and artist she wanted to hear. Oh also, I’d like to mention the majority of the guests were able to hear this all unfold realtime since the music was off at this point, and when I played it. It was the absolute best way to end the night. I have no doubt that the next time I see anyone from that wedding they will probably yell…”ONE MORE SONG, KID ROCK!!! 🤦🏻♂️🤣…..Best job ever! Thanks for reading and hopefully laughing at my ignorance. I know I have. 😜
