The Art of Reading a Crowd
by Don Panzik
One of the most important things that clients are looking for when hiring a DJ is probably the most obvious. "We want someone who knows how to Read a Crowd."

This phenomena is what I refer to as the Art of Reading a Crowd. There are many factors that go into this skill, which I discuss in the full article. I invite any aspiring DJ to get familiar with these techniques: FULL ARTICLE

The Truth about "iPod Weddings"
We've all heard horror stories about how "doing this" or "doing that" can destroy the valuable once-in-a-lifetime moments of a precious wedding day. The dream of a joyful union, the honor of expanding one's family and the utter bliss of its celebration can, sadly, be wiped out by a single decision in the planning stages. Specifically speaking, by replacing one of the most valuable servants with a gadget.
