Music and Your Slideshow

When you choose the music for your slideshow consider two things:
1. The audience
2. The occassion
Are you making the slideshow for yourself, a friend, your parents, or a team?
What is their favorite genre of music? Crooners. Rock. Rap. Jazz. Classical. This list can be endless.
I always layout all the photographs on a large table and then sort them into categories; growing up, school, friends, family, weddings, anniversaries and vacations.
We all have favorites, for weddings and anniversaries I tend to use Nat King Cole or Frank Sinatra. Photographs of family are ideal to use with CSNY and Rosemary Clooney.
Imagine a photograph of someone on the beach, the music that accompanies that photo should have something to do with summer fun; maybe "Lazy Days of Summer!"
For the world traveler consider, "I've Been Everywhere."
It's always fun to display photographs of sisters with "We Are Family."
You don't have to use the entire song, edit and use the part of the lyrics that fit with your photograhs.
