Best '80s/'90s pop

I agree, a DJ, or take suggestions off of here, make some iTunes playlists, which we do for parties, including adding videos, and do it yourself.

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.
