For New or "young" DJ's (a rant by the old guy)

[Jon Tuck]

I agree 100% with Fred on this. You dont put a kid off the street on the morning news team and expect proper results. Sure the odd occasion where stars align will allow success but when getting paid 4 digits when many arent able in their region to earn such is a slap in the face in my opinion.

I agree with that Thunder, but I also think that you have to try something for the first time to become good at it. Looking back at my first Bar Mitzvah, I had ZERO clue what I was really doing, no matter how much research and planning I put into it. Reguardless I made the best of the situation, and today I have no problem performing a mitzvah and they are 4 figure events for me with great reviews and referrals.

Brian the point is (where I am anyway)

before I allow my Djs to do a function that is like that I have them come with me for the one show so he can LEARN how to do it and make sure he understands what he is in for , not go out cold and get thrown out because he has no idea on what he is doing!!!

no matter how many years you have done it not every Dj that comes in the market knows everything and training is the BEST thing to learn what to do

if you do not know what to do go LEARN from a professional *(experienced seasoned pro) not just do it and think you can do it!!

Or you could buy a book and learn everything in the 15 minutes it would take you to read it!

If that's the Charlottesville VFW, let me know how they're doing. Haven't seen them folks in a dog's age.

Nah. One here in Winchester. They're trying to get something going with Saturday nights and I'm slow now. Not much money but since I know a couple of the folks I said I'd work with them to see what we can do. Next week is Game Show night.
