The Things I Learned...
- Thread starter SemiRetired DJ
- Start date
I learned a long time ago to seperate the wheat from the chaff on any DJ board. I could care less what anyone thinks of me aside from my clents.
Things I've learned...
1. Most DJs I have met or encountered are cheapskates.
2. Many DJs are hypocritical (related to above item).
3. Bigger is not better.
4. The prettier a cake is, the worse it will taste.
5. Old people are awesome!
6. Bridesmaids and FOBs don't know that their toast stories are long winded and boring.
7. It's not about you.
8. Most of the things that you think matter, really don't.
9. Wedding planners are the Devil.
10. DJs shouldn't try to do the Devil's work.

She's about the same age as my daughter, but it's a guilty pleasure. Actually she's 2 years older, so I'm safe I guess.
Oh Hell, my gators will eat yer MF in a heartbeat. Faith has no more goats to take care of -- guess what's out there...?
We're not good at much else, but ask us to herd something, and it's $250 per hour
I can program or DJ for the same price
I always tell the B/G the same thing. If you want the guests to dance...be the first one on the floor.
as for your 4's, Rick...I think it does depend on the event, the timing, and the market.
The basic plan for me is to start with older stuff and work my way up to new stuff
(since the crowds where I live seem to hit the dance floor in the same order)
but it's not a LAW. if it aint working, I don't stick to it.
and that doesn't mean I don't play anything new or fairly new until the last hour(s)
starting with oldies is just a nice way to make sure the old farts don't feel left out....
which I get compliments on all the time...
(well not so much lately, as I have BECOME one of the old farts)
Things I have learned ............................
How sweet old posts or threads are when the person that was arguing with me is no longer in the business and i am still here.

There is always someone ready and waiting to step in and fill the void.
I say most toys because you can never have the best. There will always be something better.
