I see you at 49th at the moment. Looking at some other sites, I agree with
your observation. However:
-Your page title uses a large variety of terms that obfuscate the phrase
which you aim for and thus lower its value.
-In Google, I see 3,370 links pointing to the URL above. In Yahoo, 46,000
links get counted. I notice that many of them come from the same domain,
which is probably within your command. Have you considered changing the
anchor text on these links to reflect on results pages of choice? With so
many links, you have the power to conquer many phrases, if only you set
your mind to it.

I notice anchor text like "Wedding Singer" and "Wedding Band". I suggest
you have more inbound links which contain the text "wedding music" to im-
prove your presence in that 'domain'.
Hope it helps,
