only half the problem is my lack of a clue

so, music.  not music for the ceremony, because i’m pretty sure we’re not having any,  due mostly to logistical issues (see photos of ceremony location).  that, however, i am totally open to, and plan to bring up, should we ever manage to make contact again with our priest.

no, i’m talking about music for the party.  here’s what we’re thinking for the moment:

at the cocktail party, we have a band.  this band, should it exist, and should we be able to find them and hire them, will be a jazz manouch group.  lively, wild, non-wedding-ish.  i love it.

during dinner, jazz piano.  frogboy’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother (are you following along at home?) is a professional pianist AND has his own REAL LIVE piano along with a minivan that it travels in.  and apparently is good too.  frogboy has, on his current to do list, ‘call re: piano.’

after dinner, DJ?  i dunno.  seems like the DJ is the best option, no?  someone who can hopefully come up with a good mix of french (shudder) music and, er, other (normal) music.  i love the idea of live music, but since the party threatens to go until like 4 a.m., i’m thinking the DJ might be more practical.  frogboy’s got a good friend who’s a DJ, so that too is on his to do list.

don’t worry about me, my to do list is infinite.
