Maybe or if the mood fits

- "Mr. Jones" by Counting Crows, late in the night. Asked by Robin Wyatt, who said not to tell Rita. Keep this quiet and do not mention it to Rita.
Unclear

Questions for the owner
- Which Journey song did Robert Wilcox mean?
- Who will settle the "Sweet Caroline" conflict between Rita and Robert, and by when?
- Is Robin Wyatt's "Mr. Jones" request okay to play if Rita has not said she wants it? Do you want to confirm with Robin first?
- Please confirm any venue music rules with Embermoor Event Hall.
What it does
Takes a client's scattered song requests, notes, and warnings and turns them into one clear list the DJ can use on the night. It separates must-plays, do-not-plays, and anything unclear, and attaches timing and who asked for each song.
Use it when: Use when a DJ needs to turn a client's messy song requests, emails, or notes into a clean do-not-play and must-play list, such as: organize my client's song list, sort the must plays and do not plays, or clean up this playlist request for the event.
