In our 2nd qtr. Newsletter, we introduced all of our readers to a phenomenal website. It’s chock-full of great music & memories and presents music 24/7/352. The response from our readers was so good that we’ve decided to repeat the contact information here.
If you’re a child especially of the 40’s, 50’s, or 60’s, this website will provide you with wonderful music and memories. The website is a labor-of-love of my good friend Carl Peeples. He spent many, many hours compiling all of this and continues to do so to this day. So, enjoy the music from the 40’s Big Band era. If you are a fan of Country music, it’s rich in the classic music of this genre. And if, like me, you were raised up on the Original Rock & Roll of the 50’s, to use a 60’s expression, this will “blow your mind”. And it’s all FREE.
Carl - Many thanks for all of your outstanding work and dedication so that we can all enjoy lots of great and memorable music.

TOP TEN THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT SAY TO A DJ
| |
1. Play something good…something we can dance to!
The DJ has to play for more than one person…so what you hate may be another person’s favorite song and EVERYTHING played here can be danced to, one way or another.
2. Would you play something with a “beat”?
BE SERIOUS! We know of no songs played in a club that don’t have some sort of BEAT!
3. I don’t know who sings it and I don’t know the name of the song, but it goes like this…
PLEASE don’t sing for the DJ. They have to put up with smoke-filled rooms and dangerous decibel levels all night long…DON’T give the DJ a rendition of your favorite song.
4. Everybody wants to hear it!
Oh, sure…you polled everyone in the club and, as their spokesperson, you’re requesting the song.
5. Everybody will dance if you play it!
The DJ won’t. I guess that blows a hole in that theory!
6. I can get laid if you play it!
Why settle for one night? Buy the album and get laid for the entire month!
7. I want to hear it next!
The ONLY people who can get away with that statement write the DJ’s paycheck!
8. What do you have?
It’s a lot easier for you to have another beer and figure out what you want to hear than it is for the DJ to recite the name of every record in the booth!
9. Hey man, nobody can dance to this!
It's not advisable to say this when the dance floor is packed (but some people do anyway)! HOWEVER, even if there is only ONE person on the floor, it still contradicts the statement!
10. Play it soon, because we’re leaving!
If you’re gonna leave after he plays it, why shouldn’t he wait till the very last song, so you stay all night?
