Tip of the Day #11

Apr 13, 2006

This Party Planning and Easy Entertaining Tip shares another trick to make your event "sing."

With the advent of genre-based music stations, every host can create a custom ambience for his or her next social gathering.

Satellite radio (XM, Sirius, DirecTV, DISH Network) and digital radio (from your local digital cable provider) offer a multitude of commercial-free, thematic stations that will fill your event with fantastic music, without forcing you to swap CDs every half hour.

Cinco de Mayo celebration? Try the Tejano station.

Small gathering for dessert? Try the light classical station.

Group of guys over to watch the game on your big screen TV? Try Arena Rock.

Casual summer party? Try some 50s music or even a little Bluegrass.

Just have fun with your selections and use your creativity to make your events "rock."
