Well Said >>>>>
A DJ IS CALLED TO PLAY IN A BAR AND THE OWNER TELLS HIM:
I KNOW YOU CHARGE US$1,000.00 PER PARTY, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S WORTH THAT MONEY. WHAT I CAN PAY IS US$ 500.00 IF IT'S GOOD FOR YOU..
THE DJ RESPONDS: OK, IT'S FINE.
BY THE WAY, HOW MUCH DOES A BOTTLE OF WINE COST AND THE BAR OWNER SAYS: US$ 300. AND THE "MUSICIAN" SAYS:
WELL, BRING ME A BOTTLE, BUT I'LL ONLY PAY US$ 100, WHICH IS WHAT IT REALLY COSTS.
WHAT...? SAYS THE EVENT OWNER....GOOD FRIEND. I HAVE TO PAY EMPLOYEES, WAITER, SECURITY AND BASIC SERVICES... NO FRIEND, YOU WON'T PUT A PRICE ON MY DRINK!
THEN THE DJ SAYS:
THEN. IF I CAN'T PUT A PRICE ON YOUR DRINK, WHY DO YOU PUT A PRICE ON MY WORK?
DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT COSTS FOR ME TO SEARCH FOR, BROWSE OR BUY MUSIC? HOW MANY YEARS HAVE I SPECIALIZED TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH TURNS AND MIXAGES?
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO NOT SPEND TIME WITH MY FAMILY, AND HOW MUCH DOES MY EQUIPMENT COST, HEADPHONES, CONTROLLER, CDJ PLAYER, MIXER, CABLES, SOUND MATERIAL, FUEL, POSTAGE, MEALS AND MUCH MORE???
WE "DJS" ARE PROFESSIONALS IN WHAT WE DO, PLEASE TREAT US WITH DUE RESPECT.
IF YOU ARE A DJ, COPY AND PASTE TO YOUR WALL
SUCCESS TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES AND VALUE OURSELVES....
This story is real and I'm sure many DJs will relate...😉
