A DJ IS CALLED TO PLAY IN A BAR AND THE OWNER TELLS HIM:
I KNOW YOU CHARGE £300 PER PARTY, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S WORTH THAT MONEY. WHAT I CAN PAY IS £150.00 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: £300. AND THE "DJ" SAYS:
WELL, BRING ME A BOTTLE, BUT I'LL ONLY PAY £150, WHICH IS WHAT IT REALLY COSTS.
WHAT...? SAYS THE BAR OWNER.... GOOD FRIEND, I HAVE TO PAY EMPLOYEES, WAITER, SECURITY AND BASIC SERVICES... NO FRIEND, YOU WON'T PUT A PRICE ON MY DRINK!
SO THE DJ SAYS: SO IF I CAN'T PUT A PRICE ON YOUR DRINK, WHY DO YOU THINK YOU CAN PUT A PRICE ON MY WORK?
DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TIME AND MONEY IT COSTS FOR ME TO SEARCH FOR, BROWSE OR BUY MUSIC?
HOW MANY YEARS HAVE I SPECIALIZED TO BE ABLE TO DO WHAT I DO?
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO NOT SPEND TIME WITH MY FAMILY?
HOW MUCH DOES MY EQUIPMENT COST, HEADPHONES, LAPTOPS, HARD DRIVES, MIXER, CABLES, SPEAKERS, LIGHTS, FUEL, ADVERTISING, 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...😉
