What do you play for weddings? 
When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.

^^ Lol


pretty much anything classical. some of the more common pieces done are Bach's Where Sheep May Safely Graze, Ave Maria, Trumpet Voluntary/Tune (one by Purcell, other by Clarke).. uhh... Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring (last wedding i did, i wanted the violinist and I to play it in minor. that would've been awesome.  8) ), and the wedding march.

The last wedding I played, I would have loved to learn the Horowitz transcription of the Wedding March.  But since it was a last minute notice, I had to do with Wedding March plus Horowitz Coda tacked on.

You just reminded me on how BACH's name was turned into a fugue subject.  Bb - A - C - B

The J. Geils Band "Love Stinks."

Yes, I actually have.  For the reception, anyway.
