What could be better than spending a few days with the best dancers,
fine friends and some great music thrown in for good measure? This
is what Jackie and I get when we DJ for different dance club
events.
Around 20 years ago, we found the Music City Bop Club in the heart
of our home town, Nashville, Tenn. We joined this dance club and
were determined to work and get to know the members and dancers. Not
long afterwards a job opened up for a DJ position. During this time,
I learned how to spin two turntables (playing vinyl, of course) and
use two cd players-- all connected to a two channel mixer. Believe
me you had to keep your head in your music or you would end up with
no song playing for the dancers. But to make a long story short,
Jackie and I fell in love with everything about the dance scene.
Jackie became my “roadie” and patiently looks for a lot of the music
we buy and play. And of course, where would I be without him
carrying the music and setting it up for me.
Jackie and I are also members and DJ for The Nashville Dance Club.
Since retiring in 2006 we are enjoying our new found freedom and
spending time with our granddaughter. Not to mention still working
on our DJing skills. We are members of the Association of Beach and
Shag Club DJs and National Association of Rhythm and Blues Dee
Jays.
We
have been so happy to play for a lot of the major events from the
mighty Mississippi River to the East Coast and from the Great Lakes
to Atlanta Ga. The friends we have made during these events have
been the best part of our voyage. We hope to be DJing and attending
dance events for a long time. And of course, building great
friendships along the way.
Keep on Dancing
