motivations...

the 1st DJ i ever remember meeting in person was the son of 1 of my egg donor's friends. i was about 10/11 years physical. the friend worked for a major label at the time. i don't remember exactly what the friend's position was, but i do know that she got tickets to shows for artists like Gladys Knight.

this friend had plenty of music (vinyl) at her crib too. that may be the 1st place i ever got my hands on Zapp's 1st album. before i got into hip-hop i would have to say funk was my favorite style of music. even now, if i'm not listening to hip-hop or house music, more than likely i'm blasting some funk vibes.

fortunately for me the egg donor spent a decent amount of time around this particular friend. i used to go to her house & play w/her younger son. the DJ son was at least 10-15 years older than either of us, so i didn't really spend too much time around dude. all i really remember is that he had a station wagon & would load his gear into it to do gigs.

i remember being extremely fascinated w/the idea of playing music for other humans & watching them enjoy it. this is something i continue to find exciting, but i'm still probably a little too selfish as a selector. combine that w/the fact that my DJ skills are lacking due to minimal if any practice & the likelihood of actually catching me enjoying this activity in the immediate future is somewhat slim...

in some ways i suppose that's kind of a lie though. it doesnt seem really useful to have access to all these amazing creations & not be sharing them w/others.

the work continues...
