The first table I did it on was an old school desk that flipped open on hinges.
I threw the condoms in there when we were done.
Songs going through my head: hot for teacher, school's out for summer, teacher, don't teach me nonsense.

It was a hot night on 79th and St. Lawrence and Sadar gave me a chance to play some tunes at J&R's (WINGS) I played stuff like Phyllis Hyman, Charles Earland, and Jean Carne. Something unexpected happened one of my records skipped I started to tremble and freaked out!! Looked around and didn't know what to do so I let it ride some more and just gently moved the needle over just a touch and said that was an edit. hooked ever since this was the summer of 94.

It was back in 1983 and Keith Fobbs was my teacher. He made me play Billie Jean (ON BOTH TABLES) back and forth for two days. I was like man WTF!!!
He was like, you gotta learn how to catch a beat before you can blend. All I wanted to do was mix Stop Banjon with Go Bang!!!!!http://deephousepage.com/smilies/rofl5.gifThat's how you know I had no idea what I was doing!!!!

CAN I JUST DO THE DAMN THING ALREADY....and he was like "aiight go ahead....do what you do..I'll be over here laughing at yo ass"!!http://deephousepage.com/smilies/rofl5.gif

[Big Easy]

Yeah honey I understand. all I have been playing is 117 and learning how to blend the two together. My Teachers keep saying just keep theses two going at the same time and we will get to something else when you are ready. But it is teaching me to listen with a different ear and use the pitch control better. But Damn it a slow process. Keep trying I Understand. But One Day I will MIx Go Bang Hahaha Ken http://deephousepage.com/smilies/rofl5.gif You know some of these DJ's just don't want to share how bad they where.

[The White Shadow]

The first five years I played, from 77 to 82, I played on tables without pitch-controls and always beltdrives where you couldn't touch the platters, so it was all about droppin' the needles in the intros or the breaks, and listening in the headset til the next record was on beat or just about, then fade in/out quickly before it became off-beat. Started playing at a spot that had just got 1200's in 82 but took a couple of years before I could mix well on beat and on bar I'd say I couldn't do that real well until like 84/85. I never lost fate or even got frustrated tho' cause I've been a fiend for DJ'ing since I was a little kid, and also we used the mic more back then and talked between records, but we could mix but it wasn't all that important out here (Norway). What was important was playing good music and having a good voice on the mic. Mixing only DJ's wasn't common here until as late as the mid 90's acually, tho' some DJ's mixed as far back as the late 70's, but most of them were from the UK.
