Last night, i "participated" in one of my last dj events. I will still be open to opportunities to play music, but have begun to "pass the torch", and am training new dj`s.
For the first time, i feel i need a rest. For the last 27 years (started when i was 16...sneaking into bars...JUST to watch the dj`s),
i have fought the good fight, i have finished the course, and...i have kept the faith. Playing music was all i had ever wanted to do.
I still want to play music...but...i need a break....mostly from drunks, and the pressure (yes) of having to be "ON" ....and perhaps, myself ( not a drunk).
I am loving playing live...on line...and will expand on that soon.Playing music on line...for an international community...is a thrill...especially when you can play Keb Mo...for someone in ireland...and then something from High School Musical...for someones kid....in florida....its a great feeling.
Will still do special events....an weddings for people i know, but....i just will not be so willing to just go play....every weekend.
I currently..and will continue to....run the dj end of things.....at Sound Innovations. I have 2 great Dj`s coming up...learning..and showing MUCH promise, so....that makes me happy.
a few years ago...my mentor...the guy who taught me the bulk of what i know...as a dj...came to visit. I observed me training...a new dj. It really got to him...because...what he had learned...was being passed on. I see....those i am training, now....and feel that good feeling too.
