But that's where it falls apart... If he is packing the floor as well, and that's what the goal is, the process with which this is achieved is immaterial.

The more you blur the line between your job and his, the more you blur the achievement when you DO pack the floor by playing music, rather than a CD...

Let me put it another way... If you could pack the dance-floor WITHOUT ever playing a CD, why would you start?

If you CAN'T without playing CD's, that's different. But that's not you, is it? I hope we are not just talking about 'break music'. We ALL do that, unless the gig has a DJ, but doing it DURING your show... Why do that if you CAN pack the floor already?

That's simply diluting your achievement, IMO...

Do what makes you comfortable. But I'm sorry, that's not for me...
