Right now I’m enjoying Herb Albert and his Tijuana Band. . . . really puts one in a festive mood!

I always have music on at parties, but I always keep it fairly low key. I prefer my guests not to have to yell over the music, because I generally don’t like loud anything anymore. I’m not old, and I love music, but I was at a 40th birthday party the other night and they were playing all hard rock. It was on a small deck, filled with a good number of people, with AC/DC playing very loudly. Just…no.

The first time I used Pandora for a party was for a baby shower. I created a station with lullabies. It was almost as popular as the food!

We always have music on when entertaining friends. We turn it up as guest are arriving, turn it down a notch during dinner, turn it up again after dinner and then down again as the evening winds down. We load up the cd player or use Pandora. I am enjoying this 30 day series, thanks so much !

Another wonderful series!
I wrote to tell you last Fall how inspired I was by your 30 day series then. You inspired me to take our MANY gatherings to a new level that was, ironically, less stressful for me.
I threw myself a wonderful birthday dinner party and at least a half dozen other parties since then. Always keeping your wise words in mind.
Just this month we have had a Graduation bash and a backyard wedding reception. And in two days we will be having a Backyard BBQ to celebrate our youngest child’s 5th birthday.
The words and thoughts you share here really flipped a switch for me last year. Somehow things got easier and so much more enjoyable. Thanks for that! And for another great series.
