LOL. If I had a dime for every time I've heard that line I'd be richer than Bezos.
I spent 2 years sending myself and other DJs to southern CT to entertain New Yorkers who claimed they
"never saw a DJ with yadda yadda skills, etc." It took me that many months of 8 hour round trips to price myself to the point that people finally stopped referring me. A convention hall full of nurses wanted to fly us to Florida because
"no one in Florida does what you do..."
It's the alcohol talking.
People always assumed I was younger than I actually was. By the time I entered my 50's I finally started to look closer to my real age and the alcohol stopped talking. It started again when I began fronting myself with younger dancers.
