    Hard to retire

    I think you are seriously overestimating people. Most people don't care how you play your music, as long as you play good music that they want to hear. Only other DJ's care about that. I'm not convinced anyone will be impressed that you are using old technology. In fact, it may have the...

    Has anybody here heard of a site called Fash?

    $30.45 to get the info. No guarantee you'll get the gig. You can see how this is not a DJ hiring business, it's a money making business.

    Chauvet Gig Bar 3 ILS

    I guess what I was saying is that clients NOTICE your lights more than mine.

    Chauvet Gig Bar 3 ILS

    These are all opinions of DJ's... I don't think clients see it that way. .With the exception of big shows, like Taso's, I think most clients don't pay much attention to the lights you use.

    Speaker/Light stand Scrims. Is it still a thing in 2026?

    Ditto. Never liked the look. If you want to appear classy... it's what you do and how you act, NOT how you dress up your speakers.

    Figured. But I've seen so many sketchy sites advertised.

    ARE JBL Speakers the standard for A/V companies to use?

    Our production company uses EV and JBL.The owner is a dealer for both brands. In the end, it comes down to personal choice.

    Chauvet Flex Stand ILS. Worth buying as a DJ, or gimick and waste of money?

    I do have a similar stand with a base plate, and I love it very much. But in the end, it's just a stand. It has a very simple job.

    Local 60th Birthday Party Vs 75 minute drive to Upscale Venue Party Difference in your quote

    I didn't say that I wouldn't do the downtown gig "at any price". I said I would PREFER the backyard gig.

    Local 60th Birthday Party Vs 75 minute drive to Upscale Venue Party Difference in your quote

    You asked what I would quote for each. I was pricing it as two separated inquiries, NOT as two gigs competing against each other. But I would still choose the backyard gig, even if the difference was only $100. It's an age thing, not a money thing.

    Weddings Juneteenth Celebrations - Song Suggestions

    I agree that your choices are mostly appropriate for the event. However, half of them seem to be angry or negative in content. Personally, I would stick to upbeat positive songs. For what it's worth, I used to play music on floats at the New York City Veterans Day parade. Keep in mind that...

    Local 60th Birthday Party Vs 75 minute drive to Upscale Venue Party Difference in your quote

    I would probably charge more for the downtown party because of paid parking a longer drive. $500 for the backyard bash. $600 for the downtown party. In my age, I would rather do the backyard party.
