Where do great DJ's go? They write Hub Pages articles about their lives!
Take me, for example.
I was a DJ for many years at many radio stations in the 1960's and 1970's, which ultimately led me OFF the air to provide programming advice to 65 radio stations in 35 states back in the 1980's and 1990's (that's where great DJs go...they coach entire teams of new radio stations!).
Also, somewhere back in the 1970's and 1980's I also DJ'ed at many nightclubs, and performed as a mobile DJ at over 1,000 live events (weddings, anniversaries, beach parties, corporate Christmas parties, boat launchings, and yes, even divorce parties!)
The main thing I learned...is that my personal opinions on music have absolutely NOTHING to do with with other people's opinion as to what great music is...to them!
...and you'll NEVER be able to change their opinions about what they like. That's ok, though. It's kinda good that everyone has different opinions about "great music". Can you imagine how BORING it would be if everyone had the same musical tastes? Yuk.
I also learned that each GENRE of music has its superstars, each with MILLIONS of fans worldwide. So you might as well learn a little about each genre.
So, keep your mind open when it comes to music. There's all kinds of tunes out there, and not just the stuff you personally like.
I'm also a musician, radio industry spokesperson, high-tech gizmo fanatic and writer/columnist for a few radio trade magazines.
I've learned to love the "mashup" that happens when art, science and music get all squooshed together, and I want to share what I uncover with you.
My goal is to provide you with a "peek behind the curtains" on music and the media that captures, stores and plays it, and the people behind it.
Your comments for future articles are very welcome. Thanks!
