The sound system at Hot Water is like a rather high-end home stereo on shelving behind the bar. I was DJing from a coffin with two CD players and a mixing board and needed room for all my cds I did not see plugging into the house sound system as an option. Initially I was lugging the coffin, CDs, my...

Roku Soundbridge
Here's a new one. The venue that I DJ at every Thursday night has installed a Roku Soundbridge 500. This means that instead of hauling a whole car full of sound equipment, I now show up with my lap-top and turn it on. The lap-top links up with the Soundbridge and the device reads my music folders. I...

Re: When I See An Elephant Fly?
I'm looking for "When I See an Elephant Fly". I have a couple of Disney versions that have some talking (ala Dumbo) and some lindy tempo music but the cuts are only maybe a minute and a half long and a Charlie Spivak version that is almost too "whitebread". Any other versions ou...

I DJ'd a wedding a couple of weeks ago and lo and behold, not one request! The couple wanted big band era swing and latin music. The evening was a lot of fun. We did a half-hour basic lesson and cut them loose. On another note, I DJ'd a class reunion last Sat. nite that was another story. Custer Hig...

DJing Weddings
I started out charging $50/hour for weddings and quickly moved it up to $100. It may seem like a lot but it is a huge amount of work to get a music program ready for a wedding. You will get a lot more requests (Polkas, Disco, Chicken Dance, etc.) than at most swing dances and there will always be so...
Cling-ons
Does anybody else have this problem? People that hang out at your booth and act like they are somehow affiliated with the event. One guy would start talking to people who come to our version of "Lindy in the Park" as if he had something to do with putting it on (He didn't!) and answer ques...

Cain't rightly says myself but I would think that if you plan to sell someone's intellectual property, you're asking for trouble. Especially after you advertise it on an open discussion board. Kalman I'm looking for advise from someone who has done it legally. And I'm only advertising for informati...

DIY Compilations
I think Riley from Chi. has done this in the past but I was just wondering if anybody else has any experience with the legalities and what kind of hoops that you have to jump through.
