I Love This Job #DJ #Music – A personal perspective
Wow what a night! 8th Grade graduation, played all of the Top-40 tunes and some of the old favorites like the Cupid Shuffle and some new stuff like Cat Daddy which I saved for last. As a DJ I play music for the majority (school dances), and when I saw a request on my note pad for Free Bird ~ Lynyrd Skynyrd, I joked and announced “it must have been a teacher request” but I knew it was one kid that kept writing down that one song.
One kid that is a little different, dresses different, and does not follow the “in” crowd, and doesn’t normally go to social functions. I thought to myself that kid was me at that age! So guess what? the last song of the night………..I played Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Hopefully, he will remember that night forever, because I will.
