Several months pregnant, dj-ing an 8th grade dance!
My very first DJ "gig" was a fundraiser while I was working as a school librarian. Several of us fellow librarians gathered together for a "Biblio-Disco" fundraising event for D.C. Public Libraries! It was an awesome event that woke a passion in me again for music. This particular event was a classic style of DJ-ing with only a mixer and two sources of music. I had to create a playlist, find my cues and transition points all without the assistance of software - just my natural ear and instinct. It was an extra special event as just a week prior, I found out I was pregnant!! I played the gig and got out of the packed club before morning sickness (which doesn't always in the morning) got the better of me. LOL!
Since then, I've had some paid gigs and plenty of just-for-fun ones as well.
Most recently, I launched "Mid-Day Music Mondays" for the Clayton County Library System. Usually, I have a theme and suggest reading materials to go along with the genre of music I'm playing. This is a way for me to provide unique, digital content for our library patrons and practice my skills.
