Originally posted by tvmann They wanted me to come back last Saturday night (with pay) and play a variety of stuff but I didn't want to do it, felt kinda bagged out when they called and I don't really want to be a juke box type which is what they want to a certain extent. The speakers - barely tolerable. Cranking out hip hop, 80s, top 40 on a bad sound system all summer is NOT what I want. However on rethinking, I might see if I can still go there, on the potential that I can change things gradually. Also just for fun & the experience, like how often does even a lame DJ opportunity come along, 2 nights a week in a resort area? I got requests for a well-known hip hop + Michaeal Jackson and some others, so maybe all I need to do is get a few CDs of that stuff to keep em happy. And maybe can slowly move them over to EDM a bit. They like a mix of music, I think if they see that people like the music that is what counts and in the summer there will be city people who will like my tunes better probably. I played mostly funky house and mainstream commercial house, but they called it "rave music" which is funny cuz I would be booted out of a rave for playing that stuff. If the speaker setup can be improved, and a few other physical changes it would be better, and I know there will be lots of people there in the summer, it's a beautiful area and they have the only club, just needs some updating, like a lot of pubs/clubs outside the main cities.

i'd take the gig = good experience, and you never know where it will lead
