There are certain songs NO Arranger player can pull off not only because the styles wont work right to the audiences ears & the vocals etc etc .......but its all about SATSFYING the requests for these line dances....& just about any of the STANDARD party songs that are always asked for. Are you going to say NO & risk the consequences of disappointing the bride, or whoever hired you & their guests with "I dont play that stuff" or just play the CD/mp3 and make them happy & dance..... & then mix it up again afterwards with your Kb live which they will also love if done right. There is nothing wrong with mixing it up with different ways of performing music, to make the customer happy & making the job flow while your in TOTAL control. I saw it all happening many years ago......& look where we are now....its a sad necessity in today's musical performance scenario in Banquets & Affairs. NH's is a totally other story & requires 99% live playing which is fine also as long as your good enough to pull it off with your chops & vocals.
