12 DJs for the price of one.
Well, it's nice that you have places like this to come to and as always, we're happy to help.
However, there's a lesson here. You took a big risk (at the client's expense) here putting the cart before the horse. It's like contracting yourself to paint a mural and then taking an online course on how to paint one.
That said, you're going to have to be ready to play more than the typical fanfare from those discs you posted. Make sure your fixed for "New Wave" and "R&B".
Good luck.

Your point is very valid. However, those aren't quite the circumstances. It's being held at the bar I play every Saturday night. I'm their in-house DJ that night. It was just tossed on me last Saturday as, "Hey! Just so you know, the 8th of March is going to be 80's night! So make sure you come prepared with 80's music and dressed up like an idiot to fit in!" So it's not a gig that I took, per say. It's my normal Saturday gig deciding to have a themed night, which unfortunately revolves around a decade I wasn't alive for over 1/3 of. :sqerr:
On the other hand, those links you provided me with are great. Thanks a million. I just wanted to clarify the circumstances of the gig.
Well, that's a horse of a different color. You should have mentioned that. Just go have fun and bone up on your 80s.

I feel your pain....Enigma.
For the last 1/3 of my life, I've not paid any attention to C/W music....now its come full circle to bite me in the azz.
Fortunately the club owner has provided me with a nice cheat sheet.....
and I've got the last 17 years of RPM Top Hits USA Compact Discs, to provide me with the music!
So I'm gonna do it!!! Muahahhahahaha
