i started mixing in 1978, 14yr, in a pool hall on Sprngfld ave. a Gemini mixer with no Hdph jack, 2 Bsr Ttbls. RIP GUS AND JAMES WARD. 1979, 2 things happened Abe,s disco was renamed Zanzibar and Barry Ward showed me the mechanics of beat matching and knowing when to mix. got good at it, met the Verona Carwash crew. Djaying was our blood.1981, moved to 44 Vermont ave. House music was our anthem.1983 i stopped and sold everything. got back in to it 2010, so bear with me y'all on this journey
