Monday, April 22, 2013 Sigma Chi Spring Formal 4-20-13Calling myself a New Jersey DJ means I cover the entire state. This weekend that meant making a two hour
trek to the Ron Jaworski's Blue Heron Pines Golf Course in Egg Harbor City.
8:55 am edt
Comments That's ok I installed a top notch sound sytem in my van, and I have an upcoming cruise vacation so I sang along with Bob Marley & company on the commute. The event was the Spring Formal for the Sigma Chi Fraternity. Staff members advised me that they had another fraternity formal the previous night and now had switched over to plastic cups as the previous night's guests had broken many glasses on the dance floor. I new I was in for a good time! The evening's musical selections were an eclectic mix of everything from 90's alternative tracks to Top 40, and suprisingly a heavy amount of country as requested. Having a 45,000 song and growing musical library updated on a weekly basis comes in handy at parties such as these. I must say I really enjoyed the diverse selections.  Some memorable moments of the night included the entire group singing the "sweetheart" song to the girl who was selected as such for the event.  "sweetheart song" Also the group requested Frank Sinatra's "My Way" to honor the seniors, and also bring the couples out to the dance floor.   The key closing tracks of the night were Livin on a prayer-Bon Jovi and what was supposed to be the end all song of the night Don't stop believin- Journey......  ...but like any epic party where the participants are unwilling to let the good times go and start chanting in unison for one more song, I was more than happy to oblige. In keeping with the heavy dose of country the song of choice was Wagon wheel-Darius Rucker!   Some other key tracks of the night were: Sweet nothing – Calvin Harris f./Florence Welch All mixed up - 311 (live 2004) – cocktail hour This love- Maroon 5- dinner Put your records on – Corrine Bailey Rae – dinner Three little birds- Bob Marley & The Wailers – dinner Santeria - Sublime All summer long – Kid Rock Drive by - Train Thrift shop – Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Red solo cup – Toby Keith Don’t stop the party - Pitbull Gangnam style - PSY Sexy chick – David Guetta f./Akon Suite & tie – Justin Tiberlake & Jay-Z In da club – 50cent Call me maybe – Carly Rae Jepsen Higher – Taio Cruz f./Kylie Minogue Chicken fried – Zac Brown Band Save a horse ride a cowboy – Big & Rich Apache – Sugarhill Gang Tuesday, April 9, 2013 I started a fine Saturday in early spring with a seven mile run. As a mobile DJ transporting
, setting up & breaking down large pro sound systems one must keep himself in top physical condition to be
able to withstand the wear & tear on the body. Actually I really just enjoy eating. Next up I wanted to get into the mindset
of the ultimate entertainer who can build the crowd into a partying frenzy. This required popping in my Tom Jones live at
Cardiff Castle concert DVD.

The ultimate showman! I'll admit I was a little tired, but ready to get the party started as I was headed out to
Royce Brook Golf Club in my hometown of Hillsborough for Anna's sweet 16. I must say I do enjoy hometown gigs with little
or no commute! For this party I was going with my all out sweet 16 package with a new twist. The top end sound was provided
by my JBL three way's and the bump was put into the dance floor by my thousand watt JBL sub, you really can feel it in your
chest! Add in an LED multicored REVO light, a laser light to create dancing beams of light on the ceiling & a strobe light,
and you have yourself one heck of a shindig. The new twist was that I brought along my Sony Digital SLR camera with
tripod that I had recently boned up on to capture some high resolution dance floor images. The theme of the night was
"masquerade"
