Chiming In Thanksgiving Week. Thank You, Michael Cerbelli, For Choosing This Video

-


Dear Friends!

Rockin’ you into this week should be easy! Most of us will enjoy a short work week before we head off into our Thanksgiving Weekend.

Janet spent Sunday a week ago working with her friends of the SEARCH Foundation. President of Special Events for Total Event Specialists / Total Entertainment Michael Cerbelli and Janet chatted about music. He is sending us this week’s video: “Sweet Dreams” by the amazing Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart, aka Eurythmics.
Michael: “A GROUNDBREAKING VIDEO! Happy MONDAY! Kisses M”

We trust his musical instincts! Block Party DJ ranks among his many illustrous titles!

And DJ Matt Cornwall concurs: "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" is an absolute  triumph of computer programming, boasting what i call  "the single greatest use of a prolonged synth line in the history of dance music." Truly.  By the early 1980s, the electro-pop sounds of Kraftwerk and Gary Numan had seeped into the pop mainstream courtesy of a slew of Brit-poppers like Vince Clarke by way of Depeche Mode, but synth-pop had been predominately male-driven up to that point. Not only did the Eurythmics' breakthrough Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) give the genre a distinctly feminine voice, it also helped give it soul, marrying the intentionally artificial, repetitive elements and robotic rhythms of techno to more organic sounds used throughout the entire album . And that's not even getting into the genius of their looks let alone the cutting edge music video! ~ DJ Matt Cornwall

Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families and friends!

Sincerely,
Janet Elkins

What Happens When an Event Planner Plans Her Own Wedding?

We have a happy bride in the house! Account Executive Brynne Price recently got engaged to the love of her life, Joe Peña. Knowing how passionate and dedicated Brynne is at work, we were just wondering: What happens when an event planner plans her own wedding?    “Three days after we got engaged, I had already made a floor plan and rough timeline for the wedding day. Is that not normal?” she quipped. We know Brynne to be organized and creative in her work as an Account Executive here at EventWorks, so it comes as no surprise that both strengths shine as she plans for the big day.   “I live and die by my Google drive.  Everything is in one, organized cloud-based program so that Joe and I can easily access things from wherever we are.  Vendor contracts, to-do lists, budgets, schedules – you name it.  Keeping organized is a must for any planner or in this case, any bride!” “I ...

While we are on the subject of millennials: Thank you for all your feedback last week! We agree: there are positives! One example: Meet Rapper JDivine, aka Josh Sunwall. Student and young rapper, very hard at work to launch his musical career. We met JDivine recently when he presented us with a smart, clean, clever rap song, custom-written specifically for the opening sequence of an annual sales conference. We were intrigued and checked him out more thoroughly. It is a pleasure to present, Live from Fayetteville, Arkansas: Josh Sunwall - Rapper JDivine. Josh hails from a musical family. Josh: "My father Kaleb and my grandmother are both great piano players. My father also writes songs. Apparently even my great grandmother was a passionate musician. However, they did not pursue music as a career. I don't play any instruments very well but I started writing lyrics at a very young age. When I first started writing, I was writing poetry, which wasn't something m...
