A great, motivating letter I received.
I work hard at what I do. I know lots of people think that I sit home and watch TV and play games all week and work on the weekends. Nothing could be further from the truth.
There are many facets to running an entertainment company. If you are reading this and you are self-employed, then you understand where I'm coming from. If you're not self-employed, more than likely, you can leave your job at the office. I have to do office work, advertising, client meetings, be my own webmaster, keep my music up to date, make sure my equipment is functioning, etc. In other words, it ain't easy.
Us DJ's have message boards that we hang out on. We share ideas, event pictures, videos, etc. It's a great learning experience. So that being said, it's great when I find that my contributions to the DJ industry, as little as I may feel they are, have impacted someone's life and career and allow me to receive an letter such as the one I want to share with you.
Publicly I say, thanks, Jim!
Kevin,
After over 20 years in the DJ business, I feel at the age of 50 it is the right time for me to retire.
It has nothing to do with the economy or the influx of new “wanna be’s” with a laptop and Limewire. Rather it is a change in priorities – giving my wonderful wife of 29 years a return of normal weekends and allowing me more time to volunteer with the Leukemia Society of Maryland as a cancer survivor.
I say all this because I want to truly thank you for being the type of jock I totally respect and enjoy. You seem to be a true family man, enjoy what you do, have a continuing passion for the work and are committed to the satisfaction of your clients.
All those qualities are exactly what kept me in the trenches for all these years. Plus your vlogs only reinforce all that. I always look forward to them! With those vlogs, you have the guts to show the consistently fantastic job you do, then end it with a song sung with sheer joy and abandon. I love that confidence. You are obviously comfortable in your own skin. Can you tell my Momma is a family therapist?
Your postings reflect all the qualities I mentioned. Your attitude never seems to wane. You are to be congratulated for that. I feel you are what this industry and the forums need – a fine example of what we all should strive to be. You are what I refer to as one of the “good guys” – and not many are included in that category.
So thanks for being an upstanding member of the DJ community. I had to tell you before I sign off the boards for good.
Keep on keepin’ on!

I found this to be quite funny. Are we carrying this FB/Twitter thing too far? I think it was cute and funny. Congratulations to Dana and Tracy!

the 2009 Goodwill Gala
The Macon Lights division of DKH Entertainment had the privilege of providing lighting for the 2009 Goodwill Gala at the Anderson Conference Center on November 20.
I'd like to publicly thank Jamie Bodie from Low Country Lights for the use of his lights and time in making this happen.
Also big props to Ben from NLFX Pro for his help. Mike Jones from Mike's Moblie DJ Service for the use of his Starry Night Light, and Jeremy Jones from Entertainment Solutions for his Starry Night Light as well.
Here are a few pics. You can see more here. Goodwill Gala 2009
