I clicked "Other", so I have to explain -
After 31 years with a major corporation, I retired and moved to Florida. Like many Veterans, my best friends are Veterans, and I found myself spending a lot of time in the American Legion, VFW, etc., and too much time drinking. So, I got into DJ'ing late in life to be in the same Veterans organizations my friends were still in, but playing music and drinking less - it has never had anything to do with money. The reason I charge money is to be fair to those who are actually in this because it's their income. Me, I'm just having fun!
...and I was good at it. I also started to do the MC part in weddings for my youngest son who DJ's in NY, but is mic shy - we go to NY frequently to see the grandchildren. As time moved on, I started to do Zumba for a fun way to exercise (remember, I'm retired). This led to a love of Salsa and Merengue dancing which, you guessed it, started me DJ'ing Latin music...and I was good at it too! Even though I'm a Gringo, I've become the unofficial resident DJ for a local Spanish Club.
DJ'ing for me is not work, it is a Passion. I love music, I love to dance. I'm now 72 years old, and I would like to keep doing it until at least 2022, or until Agent Orange kills me.
