Hope This Helps some of you...

Ray thanks so much thats an area I just usually wing it and seeing it in list form I tend to forget some of those gems you have. I would love to make this a cheat sheet and sticky it in the music section if you dont mind. Thanks for your generous offering.

Ray always post some kick ass music lists.

Hey! If you get a chance can you post that other list you posted on DJ Chat? That one was also a great list. I think the gang here would love to view it. Thanks Ray.

Ray,

Great dinner playlists. What, no Luther Vandross in the urban dinner mix?
Thanks for sharing.

Good list.

I never thought of packaging dinner music that way. Thanks.

I never thought of packaging dinner music that way. Thanks.

Agreed.

I believe that it is the spontaneity of the moment, coupled with the music that the client wants, that helps control what I play and what I don't play. I think that predefined playlists are not the best way to go, so I stay away from them.

These are just some of my dinner playlist of course I customize each this is like the top 200 Mobile Beat Songs so many guys use it was posted to share and help my fellow DJ's.

Ray,

Great lists!!!! thanks for sharing
