So, the conference committee chair of the MD, DE, DC State Association has accepted my offer to DJ the fall conference dinner. It will be a C/W theme so I have been listening to lots of C/W music since the Family Picnic on Memorial Day Sunday.

This has gotten me to thinking, yeah, that was what you smelled. If I ever got back in this crazy business it would be as a Country DJ; that is, with the exception of certain line dances, only C/W music.

Is there anybody out there limiting themselves to a single genre and how successful is it?
 
IMO, and only mine, if you want to be an effective 'country DJ', you should be prepared to cater to everything that encompasses - ECS, WCS, Cha, Line, 2 Step, Waltz, 3 Step and others. Some of this music is old country, some is new country, some could hardly be called country and some isn't country.

You missed the "If I ever" part.

"If I ever" would also include new gear which I don't have the room for right now.

"If I ever" includes either quiting the federal job or being retired from it. Quitting the federal job means that I have another means of income which is probably a lottery win (slim and none and slim left town). I can't retire till 2025.
 
Country is awesome....dancing is fun...great people. Country has been very good to me.....met and worked with a lot of big artists......so i can't say enough about the Country crowd. Of course the dancing is VERY regional.....so learn as many dances as you can....it will make you a lot better of a DJ for country music!
 
It's what we were taught to call it.

Same here.

I come from NY, but not the city -- redneck territory. I'm sorta thinking the C&W tag came from TV from what I can recall. I remember they used to intro people on the TV shows as country and western artists.
