The wedding will require about five hours of music. According to iTunes, I&#8217;ve got a hundred and seventy two days&#8217; worth. I&#8217;ve simply GOT to whittle it down.<\/p>\n<p>In the process, I find myself short-handing some selections. For instance, one of my fallbacks is this piece, by Alberto Iglesias. It&#8217;s from his score for the film, <em>Todo Sobre Mi Madre<\/em>. Even if I weren&#8217;t a devout CW (that means credit-watcher, y&#8217;all) this moody, gorgeous bit of music, which rises at the film&#8217;s end, would have kept me rooted to my seat.<\/p>\n<p>It might actually be <em>too<\/em> moody for quiet background music. At a wedding, I mean. With it&#8217;s string-drenched swells and that muted trumpet, it&#8217;s perfect for a dinner party. But a wedding wants something a little more tinkly, like Monk, or Dave Brubeck. But then, I&#8217;m not your typical wedding DJ. And I&#8217;m not getting paid for this gig. I&#8217;m doing it for friends. So I&#8217;ll play what I please.<\/p>\n<p>And just hope I still have friends the next day.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sixsquare.com\/mpthree\/iglesias.mp3\">Alberto Iglesias &#8211; &#8220;Todo Sobre Mi Madre&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>on the web: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Todo-Sobre-Madre-Alberto-Iglesias\/dp\/B0000457G8\/ref=pd_bbs_4?ie=UTF8&#038;s=music&#038;qid=1208196278&#038;sr=8-4\">Amazon<\/a> (the disc is out of print)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Todo Sobre Mi Madre\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sixsquare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/todo.jpg\" alt=\"Todo Sobre Mi Madre\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,3,96],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sixsquare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1023"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sixsquare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sixsquare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sixsquare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sixsquare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1023"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.sixsquare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1023\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sixsquare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1023"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sixsquare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1023"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sixsquare.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1023"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
