Re: PESO: Wedding Tango
My wife and I were married in 1971. Our wedding band did one thing and they did it well: Led Zeppelin covers. Our first dance was "Stairway to Heaven." The old folks liked it okay until the tempo change. Then our friends started lighting joints. Mom was pissed, but she got over it.

Re: PESO: Wedding Tango
"The Masochism Tango" - unusual (but inspired) choice for a wedding dance. Perhaps followed by "The Wiener Schnitzel Waltz" (la la la) Looks like a great location - pity about the rain Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney, Australia http://members.westnet.com.au/brianwal/SL/ On Mon, 12 May 2008 13:31:48 -0500, "Charles Robinson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > Not a perfect image, but... > > http://charles.robinsontwins.org/photos/2008/fiona_wedding/content/IMGP8431_large.html > > My daughter had scheduled (last August!) an outdoor wedding for the > only day in the week on which it rained ALL DAY.

I've played that tune for three wedding receptions now. The first time, the bride and groom said beforehand, "We'd really love to have our first dance be 'The Masochism Tango', but we fear our parents would freak out at the words." (They'd planned to have a CD player handy anyhow for when the band took breaks.) I suggested, "Why not just have us play it as an instrumental? Er ... one little flaw in that plan. Can you guess? The day of, we were situated in the choir loft with a great view of the dance floor and the tables. When it came time for the couple's first dance, we started up the tune (fiddle, guitar, bodhran, and viola da gamba -- only half the band for that gig), and the newlyweds began to dance. Many of the guests stood around watching, but we could see the confusion on their faces: "Wait, I know this melody from somewhere, don't I?" We could also watch the _recognition_ of the tune spread across the room like a freaking _wave_, in the changes of folks' facial expressions and body language. Then, near the end of the first verse, 80% of the guests started _singing_. The bride and groom stumbled, recovered, and finished the dance laughing. AFAIK, the parents didn't freak after all, though I think they did comment. The other two times, recognition was not a problem -- it was assumed that everyone would know the song (in one case it was announced ahead of time). Also, the other two times we had the whole band (or nearly so) there. I am of the probably-unsurprising opinion that it is a _lovely_ first-dance for a wedding reception. -- Glenn http://www.homespunceilidh.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: PESO: Wedding Tango
Isn't it odd how we will readily accept a "technically deficient" shot of that has emotional appeal? My son was married a couple months ago and I only shot a dozen pics myself as they hired a pro (and he was!) However, my sister in law shot lots of pics on her P&S, most of which were fuzzy. But we still love them all! As has been mentioned this is a great shot for all the emotional reasons, who cares about the technicals when it is your kids!
