Best '80s/'90s pop

Yeah, getting a DJ that has the tunes you want is probably most practical solution unless you really want to invest the time needed to pull everything together and make it work without a hitch.

BTW, the OHM Walshes are awesome party speakers if you choose to apply them towards that, although most people will probably be satisfied with the equipment that a hired DJ would bring to the table.

Tequila shots and it ain't gonna matter.

Guys,

The wife LOVES a band. Kid Creole & The Coconuts happened to be playing in LA (their first LA gig in app 15 years) right around my 50th - so we rented a room at the club (and - as it turned out - my party accounted for just about 90% of the meager ticket sales for the show). By the end of the night my lovely bride was on stage and dancing with the Coconuts. I don't think a DJ will cut it anymore. It was pretty clear that this was her idea of a party.

If we can work it out pricewise, we may end up hiring The English Beat (actually Dave Wakeling and a bunch of stand-ins) who she really likes. They are now based in Santa Monica. If we can't swallow the price tag, we'll go with a cover band.

Thanks for the ideas,

Marty

Hey, I just had a burger at Father's Office in Santa Monica on Bongofury's suggestion a couple of weeks back. Very tasty.

Evidently ,Bongo knows his burgers.

BTW, Kind Creole's sidekick is also caled Bongo...Bongo Eddie.
Have you ever seen those two in the same place at the same time?
