Quick Thanks
Hey everyone, I've had the opportunity to start DJ'ing a bit in Portland (an actual swing scene, as opposed to tiny little Corvallis, where I've been doing events) and each time has been very successful, and I have to give everyone on this forum a huge chunk of the credit, because everything I've be...
