Moving Along

We got all of the spelling errors taken out of the first draft of the wedding invitations today.

In the evening, it was out to Zax, where I hired the world's best wedding band to be the opening act for the M-O-R. deejays.

I love being just floored by talent, and this band definitely did that. I was talking to the lead singer before he went on and said, "You know, with your band and the girls singing... have you ever heard of Boney-M?" (Boney-M is a relatively obscure German pop group from the 1970s.)

"Oh... Rivers of Babylon!"

"Uh..."

"Daddy Cool?"

"Not sure... I just know a song called Rasputin."

"Sure. I've heard of them."

He then went on stage, and the band proceeded to do five (did they even write more songs than that?) songs in a row from Boney-M, including Rasputin... fantastic. And for those of you coming to the wedding, wait until you hear their "Platters medley." Doo-whop will come alive in the jungles of Mindanao.
