I know crap happens, but hard to imagine what prevented them from pressing "play".
The cassette tape bound up. Took a while to rewind it with a pencil. :icon_wink::icon_wink:

Having been a helper for a DJ in my previous life, it is not just a matter of pressing "Play". Amateur performers put their music on whatever media and in whatever format they find convenient. There are so many different combinations that it is impractical to have the ability to play just any DVD, CD, tape, or SD card on the fly. Even if you have the right equipment and driver software, the person doesn't know what spec they created it with and the DJ doesn't have the time, with an impatient audience, to sort through the possibilities.

It was just to give the crowd a preview of what it’s going to be like once SS goes silent because of the apartments. We were there. It was fine.

Band was Stella Beat and they were fabulous!

I was there, she doesn't . They moved up the other acts. Much ado about nothing.

Well, I know that at times I can be crabby, but I think that the band "kinda sucked".
Maybe if the music wasn't so damn LOUD, it could be more enjoyable. And I'm partially deaf.

Whoa! Check your facts.

These are groups that perform in TV on a steady basis and should know what kind of media the TV Entertainment staff wants. By the way, it wasn't a DJ but a trained professional sound person who deals with the sound equipment on a daily basis.

Been here over 15 years. Entertainment— what a laugh. Very, very boring. Seeing how boring, you either get drunk to get through it or stay away. We have stayed away for 14 1 /2 years. We do get some good band for the dancers but nothing for special days. First Christmas tree lighting— eke gads. A big tree with big red plastic bows and some lights twirled around it. You only get cheap stuff. The trick is to squeeze out every penny for the bottom line.
