Haven't had time to news it up today. Yeah, basically she was concerned about Kevin feeling uncomfortable in Poland because of how people may behave toward him/her/them. (my Google showed some comment akin to "her eyes flashed" on talking about this) and he said to her essentially, look B, I'm an officer's kid, I moved all over the world my whole life, I'm down for whatever. She said tho that her concerns weren't as warranted as she thought because they didn't have too many issues after all. (I think. it is Googlish after all) It was interesting anyway--- I remember some years ago she brought it up in an interview and a couple Poles on the list at that time had a bit to say about xenophobia there.

English was not his first language, though. At another friend's wedding reception, an elderly gentleman (presumably fluent in English) from the bride's side sang "Your Cheatin' Heart" karaoke. Talk about awkward... Why the DJ even had that song available, I don't understand. Cheers, - -Brian* ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2009 00:01:26 +0000 From: "Barry" Subject: Re: OT: Inappropriate for weddings I had a friend who asked me to make a mix tape (years ago) for he and his new wife to listen to on the car ride to their honeymoon destination. He wanted to start it with Dan Fogelberg's "Auld Lang Syne". The first line is "Met my old lover in the grocery store". Ummm, not the best choice to play for your new bride. Another one wanted "Unanswered Prayers" by Garth Brooks at his reception. What?? It amazes me that some people like songs yet they have no clue about the lyrics.

He scrambled to set up and started with: - Leaving On A Jet Plane - Breaking Up Is Hard To Do I listened to this disaster and thought "wow, how hard would it be to compete with this", and started my own DJ business by promising happy, upbeat, lyric-appropriate songs for wedding receptions. I purchased one initial advertisement and was busy as I wanted to be for ten years on the strength of one ad and word-of-mouth. Only reason I stopped was that I just got bored with it after a while. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-basia@smoe.org [mailto:owner-basia@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Barry Sent: Thursday, June 25, 2009 8:01 PM To: basia@smoe.org Subject: Re: OT: Inappropriate for weddings I had a friend who asked me to make a mix tape (years ago) for he and his new wife to listen to on the car ride to their honeymoon destination.
