(to repeat the words of Alan Parry...)
"Utter Bullocks"!!!!!!
Do what makes you happy, and get really good at it...There is a place for
you! No matter where you're from! Denver, Detroit, Seatlle, or
whereever!
If you conform to the info mentioned below, you're only cheating yourself. Be
uncompromising, stay true to YOUR roots, not what others believe is "a
good DJ"!
