Score One (+1) for the iPhone

While at a wedding reception for some wonderful friends, another guest asked if a certain song was available to play. The DJ would have had no reason to be in possession of such genre (Celtic/Riverdance-ish music). And I surely didn't have anything of the sort in my playlist.

But score one for the iPhone - the guest told me the name of the song, I opened up iTunes on my iPhone, found it, previewed it (to make sure it was right - the first one I tried was NOT right), bought it for $0.99, downloaded, and sauntered on up to the DJ.

You see, it turns out that the groom is an incredibly accomplished Irish Dancer (hope that's the right term). And without him knowing what was coming, he was called - alone - to the dance floor, and he gave us a 20-30 second incredible solo dance. On his wedding day. Impromptu.

So shout out to Steve Jobs and Apple for such a great piece of technology (both hardware and software), and a bigger shout out to Michael for being a good sport and giving us all a great show.

And the +1 (from the title of the post) - Link here. (HT: TheGreatBlackAngus)
