Frequently Asked Questions and Our Thoughts

Song Lists - Many DJ's brag about having thousands and thousands of songs.  Well, that is great if you are going

to sit and listen to songs. But, if dancing is the focus of the event, then thousands and thousands of songs are 

not at all necessary.  If, the DJ has really studied the vast library of songs within their reach, then the only songs that

really matter are those that are great for dancing. 

We maintain a very current list of "Top Dance Hits" from the past 50 years. Our current listing would fill about 250 

hours of non-stop dancing. How much do you need? This does not include our full library of "dinner" music listings.

"But I need them for Requests."  That is only partially true. Most requests are not suitable for the event in progress.

The DJ's job is to mix the music to the crowd and stay focused.  Playing every request can please the one person

making the request but irritate the crowd on the dance floor.  Professional DJ's know how to handle requests. 

Karaoke - OK, so everybody likes karaoke. (Really?) 

If the event is a stationary DJ at a bar, then karaoke can be fun and self-entertaining. However, at more formal 

events (like wedding receptions) the addition of karaoke can be in very poor taste. And, for many reasons: 

First, when the first child is denied use of the karaoke microphone, the parents and their entire party will be upset. 

Secondly, if a professional DJ has been hired to perform, let them perform.  If they rely on the karaoke machine

to provide the entertainment, they could have mailed in the entertainment.  Adding karaoke to an event must be

chosen carefully. Too many times, the karaoke starts and is hard to stop.
