A DJ IS CALLED OUT TO PLAY AT A BAR AND THE OWNER SAYS:
I KNOW YOU CHARGE $1,000.00 PER PARTY, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S WORTH THAT KIND OF MONEY. WHAT CAN I PAY R$500.00 IF IT'S GOOD TO YOU..
THE DJ SAYS: OK FINE
BY THE WAY HOW MUCH IS A BOTTLE OF WINE AND THE BAR OWNER SAYS R$300 AND THE DJ SAYS :
WELL GET ME A BOTTLE BUT IM ONLY PAYING R$100 WHATS THE REALLY COST
WHT...? SAYS THE EVENT OWNER... GOOD FRIEND HAVE TO PAY ESSENTIALS, WAITERS, SECURITY, AND ESSENTIAL SERVICES.... NO BUDDY YOU WONT PUT A PRICE ON MY DRINK!
SO THE DJ SAYS :
THEN. IF I CAN'T PRICE YOUR DRINK, WHY WOULD YOU PRICE MY WORK?
DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT COSTS FOR ME TO LOOK FOR, LOOK FOR OR BUY MUSIC? HOW MANY YEARS I SPECIALIZED TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH TURNS, MIXES!
HOW MUCH IT COSTS NOT TO SPEND TIME WITH FAMILY, AND HOW MUCH MY EQUIPMENT,PHONES,CONTROLLER,CDJ PLAYERS,MIXERS,CABLES,SOUNDWORK,FUEL,MAIL,MEALS AND MUCH MORE!
WE "DJS" ARE PROFESSIONALS AT WHAT WE DO, TREAT US WITH RESPECT.
IF YOU ARE A DJ, COPY AND PASTE TO YOUR WALL
SUCCESS TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES AND WE VALUE OURSELVES....
This story is true and I'm sure many djs can relate.... 😉
