During the show, it depends on what type of show it is. <br /><br />At a bar, I don't do much. In fact, I rarely stay for the show. I set up and then leave. It is a simpler show, that mostly involves Train playing music.<br /><br />Tomorrow is a school dance. I interact more with the students and faculty make sure everyone is happy.<br /><br />My biggest role is during weddings. I stand out with the wedding party and direct them for when they are to enter as Train announces them. I relay messages to specific people since Train is usually working the table. I work the crowd to get a feel for the genre of songs that need to be played and take specific requests. I take the microphone into the crowd to find the right people who may have something to share with the new couple. Last week, I asked the grandfather of the groom (who had been married for 56 years)to give his grandson advice on how to keep the spice in their love life. That old man grabbed the mike and talked for five minutes. He was great.<br /><br />The amount of crowd interaction and joking with the couple varies greatly depending on the families and their sense of humor. We can take it as far as they want to go, including learning embarrassing stories from their family <b>or</b> we may just play music.Brett Minorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13181569922751252054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825830576738887160.post-458788395896270602012-04-20T23:10:46.748-07:002012-04-20T23:10:46.748-07:00Happy Birthday Train!

How does Brett spend his time while you do your DJ stuff? He told me that he doesn't dance much... so how does he spend the time?
