DJs only hurt BAD, or lazy musicians. There’s room for almost any entertainer that’s willing to put in the work, as long as they do the job that’s offered. Here’s my recipe for success:
Don’t play jazz at a Parrot head bar, don’t play Al Jolson for millennials, and don’t ignore the audience ...
Stay fresh, play your strengths, exercise humility, work the room, and you’ll be just fine.


DJ's have the advantage of being able to go in as one piece and covering a big job like a Wedding at a lower cost. Even thought its grown to a point where they are charging as much as bands by bringing light shows,video screens, and "Party Motivators " Yecch !!1 Thats what blew the bands out of the water. also cheap entertainment for bars etc.


Guess what? it's the trend that will not stop....... mad
hold on it's gonna be a rough ride..10 years or less from now it will be a whole new gig venue.. eek2

PLaying your music at home will be your only solace.


Hell. Donny, you have been making the same claim for more than 15 years, and guess what - nothing has changed - NOTHING!

And, 10 years from now no one on this forum will care - the vast majority will be dead. And, those that have not passed away will be reading the same BS "Keyboard players will soon be a thing of the past." Of course the person posting this will be the same person. wink
