Having Such A Large Variety
 Prior to a wedding reception,
we had been requested to mostly play top forty music at one wedding reception
but at the reception, the guests asked for and mostly danced to country
music
 Because of this, the bride and
groom asked us to only play country music. Because we brought our large
collection, we were able to play popular country songs throughout the rest
of the party.
Prior to a graduation
party, the host asked us to bring heavy metal and hard rock, but at the
party, the host requested we only play popular music
Again, our job was not to figure
out why such a drastic change. We were there to make everyone happy and
we so we played popular music the entire evening. We did such a good job,
the guests asked us to stay longer.
At many parties, the guests don't
all agree on the styles they all enjoy
We are able to play all styles
requested so no guest is left out, because we don't require the host to
only choose a couple of styles
Each guest feels they're a part
of the party because their request is played
 Although a wedding is for the
bride and groom, the guests feel they've become more a part of the celebration
when their request is played for them. Often, the guests will stay longer
than if their style of music wasn't played because the bride and groom
were limited to three styles.

Many Happy Customers
When we frequently played at
a local club for listening enjoyment, we played songs requested by the
customers
We were asked to play a wide
range of requested musical styles. One time our DJ played Jimi Hendrix's
version of the Star Spangled Banner followed immediately by Patti Page's
version of Doggie In The Window. The crowd had a lot of fun that evening
having their requests filled and trying to stump the DJ.
There were times customers would
tell the DJ they hated certain styles of music, but once they realized
all requests would be honored, they didn't mind any mind listening to the
other styles.
One group of customers at a table
asked the DJ to not play any of that "awful country music but just play
rock music" and another group at a table next to them asked we not play
any rock music but just play country music. Each group deeply disliked
the other's type of music, but once they understood requests of both styles
would be played, both groups ended up joking with each other and partying
together.
Besides the regulars at the club,
most of the patrons would often end up partying together similar to the
situation you'd expect on the television show Cheers.
Our DJ did so well making the
evening fun for the customers, they often took a collection to have the
DJ stay longer than what had been contracted by the club.
Once in a while, individuals
would be there who had all come in from another country. On one particular
evening, around ten men from England were there. By the end of the evening,
our DJ had played a lot of songs that were particularly popular to their
culture and they were all singing together.
