HOLD THE SUNRISE

When you’ve done more than a thousand gigs, you can safely tell the brides’ moms what’s what.  Only once in a while will you run into a “play this, play that” mom.   Or  “My sister wants to sing.  Don’t let her!  And why are you taking a break right now?”  Micro-managers.  Don’t they have anything better to do on the big day?

All in all, simcha (weddings and bar mitzvahs) work is pure pleasure. Most everybody is there to have a good time, and you can sound awful and nobody will notice.  You can even rehearse new tunes on the bandstand.  As long as you play “Sunrise Sunset” — or don’t play it, as the case may be — everybody is happy.

PULL THE TRIGGER . . . Make the Deal.  Do it.
