"The Brain" is so good that you never know it is there! This is a high compliment in that it lets one imagine that a good DJ is running the show.

Dear Tom,
    Here is a quote for you:

    We have danced all over the country, in Asia and Europe, to all sorts of live bands and DJs. My husband, in fact, was a bandleader for several years. As a result, we think we have the knowledge and expertise to comment
on the quality of dance music. What ballroom dancers want are variety, correct tempo and continuous music without undue pauses or unnecessary comments from a bandleader or disc jockey. We don't want two dances of the
same kind in a row. We want to be able to dance to every type of dance from a slow waltz to a fast jive. We want the samba to be moderate tempo so we have time to work on technique. We don't want tangos that are so slow that
they sound like funeral dirges. We also do not want to hear the same tunes week after week. Ballroom dancers are extremely picky!

    Thus saying, we can honestly state that "The Brain" is able to do all of the above without any, or at least very little, human assistance. We think "The Brain" can save dance groups a lot of money and aggravation because it can automatically rotate the music played and make sure that no two of the same type of rhythm is ever played consecutively. We enjoy dancing to "The
Brain" and compare it favorably to the very best DJs and top ballroom bands in the world.

HI TOM

ITS FRIDAY AND JUST OPENED MY EMAIL. WAS AWAY FOR A FEW DAYS.

FROM MY HEART, ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT THE MUSIC THAT NITE AND THE SOUND SYSTEM WAS IT BLEW ME AWAY. THE BEST I EVER HEARD TO SAY THE LEAST. THE SOUND WAS CLEAR, NOT MUFFLED AND MOST OF ALL FROM EVERY SPOT IN THE GE THEATRE THE SOUND DIDNT CHANGE. NO COMPLAINTS FROM ANYONE.

"Ah............what can I say about "The Brain"................well, although it cannot take the place of a real, live band, it sure is the next best thing to one. But "The Brain" is only as good as the person feeding it with the right ingredients to make a night of ballroom dancing most enjoyable, filled with just the right mix of smooth and Latin dances, slow and fast-paced, at just the right intervals and thanks to our very own Tom Trimarchi in New York's Capital District USA Dance community, we have the best of "The Brain"----great music, great acoustics, great affordability----add that to delicious "snacks" and the camaraderie of the nicest people in town, you surely can't go wrong. Thank you, Tom, for bringing "The Brain" to the Capital District. "

Doris and I ran the After Five Tea Dance Club In the Springfield Area for over 15 years and wish we had "THE BRAIN". If so I think I would start it again because of the savings.

We are impressed by:

1) Your ability to change the tempo (BPM) of the music without distortion or loss of quality constant pitch;

2) Your ability to effortlessly and efficiently alter a pre-sequenced program to promptly accommodate special requests.

3) Your ability to search and replay music from previous venues (history) based upon the vaguest information.. [I was amazed to witness your fulfilling a request to play a song (title unknown) that you had played at an event some three weeks prior thereto]

4) The clear and comprehendible program announcement of the music/dance sequence “coming up...followed by...” is a very nice feature.

We wish you good luck marketing your excellent program.

Dear Tom,

Jim and I really enjoyed our beginning ballroom experiences led by you, Susan and the Brain--it was so helpful for a novice to know what the next song rhythm would be, and to go over the steps in our mind first. Being able to adjust the speed to experience level was also wonderful! It has a tremendous repertoir of songs and types, so there is always something you enjoy and something new to be challenged by! It has been fun every time.

Also from Ralph:

"The Brain is an ideal DJ assistant!"

"The Brain allows a DJ to quickly find, select, and queue songs by any criteria. "

"Using The Brain, a DJ can add his own custom play adjustments without having to tweak the music file."

"The Brain uses expert system rule-based technology to generate a sequence of songs selected from the database based on the user's customized rules."

"The Brain is what DJ's have wished they had for decades!"

"With the Brain, all the drudgery of finding a piece of music is gone! And, you can add your own code-words for finding stuff."

"With the Brain, enter the search words, up pops the info, and with a click, it's queued to play."
