“Live music.” That common saying could contain some truth, but these days the word “live” is having less and less to do with music. For a lot of people, a disc jockey is their form of live music. Despite what disc jockey ’s would like to have you believe, musicians make excellent entertainment.
In the 1st place, people enjoy human performance. a lot of musicians like excellent athletes are multi- skill ed. They will croon on the tenor saxophone right to your soul, then turn around and chunk out a funky rhythm on a Fender Stratocaster. could a disc jockey play a turntable behind his head or with his teeth? Professional musicians love to sing and groove on just about any style of music from a Frank Sinatra to Outkast. They especially enjoy playing when the audiences is responding to their performance.
In the second place, musicians are students of the arts. Musicians do not merely “push buttons.” They’ve had years of practice in their homes, and they do their thing on stage. Un like disc jockey ’s musicians do not try to sing over or add other loud or strange noises to program music. Once a song begins it flows to the end and in the unfortunate gathering of a power shortage musicians could continue to entertain acoustically until power is restored. Even non-professional musicians generally understand “the show must go on” concept.
Finally, one of the most attractive features of bands as entertainment is the affinity betwixt them and their audiences. Watching a excellent drummer is never boring becauseĀ they areĀ constant ly moving…feeling. An animated solo violinist playing an old wooden Stradivarius violin has a much greater occasion of reaching into your soul and stirring your feelings than a disc jockey with an array of magnetic speakers and digital amplifiers no matter how excellent his system sounds. It is an apple trying to be an orange. It is the difference betwixt human blood and electricity.
Contrary to popular opinion, bands can be affordable. Just like with a disc jockey, finding a performer well in advance and securing them with a low down payment, the price can be negotiated to avoid costly or inadequate entertainment. Bands will even throw in a free cocktail hour or an extra half hour at the end to gain a date! a lot of bands are now offer ing ” disc jockey time.” This is when the musician hat comes off and the disc jockey hat is put on to play the Techno, House, Hip-Hop, etc…Genres of today. people who have small get togethers should appreciate these characteristics of bands. Nonetheless, a lot of people who have large get togethers opt to have bands because they love the musician individual ity. In a lot of ways, musicians are the ideal entertainers.
