A Disclaimer :) sprinkled with vanity

OK, so I am not currently a "paid, spinning DJ," there I said it.

At one time I was. A very popular DJ in fact and I personally feel that
once a DJ, always a DJ.

Everyone in my circle will tell you, I am constantly trying to turn people on to new
bands, songs, sounds... some things you wouldn't even call music, but, I do. I used to
sit for hours with a little cassette tape recorder and tape "sound-bites" from TV, adult
conversation and kids playing. Anything that was happening audibly was fair game for me.
I would then incorporate it into music, pop songs or just re-tape it rhythmically and add
music to it. All by hand, all by ear and turn it into something people would dance to.


I have DJ'd in clubs in WV, PA and Florida and they were literaly some of the best
times of my life. Some crazy, some scary but always fun. Those stories will come
later.

For now I just want to explain, if you aren't aware, being a DJ is more that just
playing other people's music. It's getting you to listen to something that you may
not have heard before or taking something you may have heard a thousand times and
breathing a new life into it. Playing the right songs in the right order to keep you
having a good time.

I think I can take my words and point you in the direction of music you
will like.

Trust me, I'm a DJ...
