My Master Card Moment

So we have all seen those commercial for Master Card....well I had mine this past weekend.

I was doing a wedding in Orange Park and it was a smaller wedding. The ceremony was beautiful and just made it through before the rain started. After dinner all in attendance were up and dancing to just about everything I played. For my DJ friends you will know what I mean when it seems like you can not go wrong with what you are playing...

Fast forward to the end of the night.....

As I am beginning to pack up all my gear after a great night, a young boy approaches me and and asks if he can speak with me for a moment. I said, "Sure". He proceeds to say, "I just want to tell you that what you just did was awesome!" I asked him what he meant by that. His reply was, "The party you just did was the best ever, I hope I can be like you one day when I grow up."

With tears in my eyes I thanked him and asked him if he wanted to be a DJ. He said, "I sure do, I live in South Carolina but I hope I can find someone there that will help me." I asked him how old he was...

8 years old!!!!

I spoke to his parents afterwards and let them know that even though they lived in S.C. if he ever had any questions about being a DJ that I would gladly be there for him and gave them my number to reach me.

WOW, if that doesn't remind you why we (DJs) do what we do, I don't know what can!
