On this day, November 23, 1889, the first jukebox, known as the "nickel-in-the-slot phonograph," was invented and installed by Louis Glass and William S. Arnold at the Palais Royale Saloon in San Francisco.

The first jukebox featured four listening tubes through which customers could hear the music, as the machine had no amplification.

In its first six months, the jukebox generated over $1,000 in revenue, a significant amount for that time, indicating its immediate popularity. This success led to the rapid proliferation of similar machines in other establishments, marking the beginning of pay-per-play entertainment.

Kudos to a DJ colleague.....Brendan Burchill

In 43 years, I've missed only 1 other gig due to a medical emergency (in 1998 - an acute Gout attack - one of the most excruciatingly painful things I've ever experienced.)

On Sept 7, 2025, I sustained a 2nd degree burn on my right hand. The prognosis was that healing could take anywhere from 2-4 weeks. Oh, no! I had a wedding ceremony & reception booked (and paid in full) for Sept. 27!!! My fear was that I would not be recovered fully in time to perform dj services, since it's kind of tough to dj with one hand. I did not want to take a chance on inconveniencing my client at the last minute, thus, I called a colleague for coverage.

DJ Brendan Burchill of Brendan Michael Music stepped up in a big way. I contacted Brendan 3 weeks in advance of the wedding date. In short order, Brendan rearranged a couple of other matters, collected the ceremony & reception details I sent him, contacted the client, and took the gig off my hands (one hand - 😆).

I heard from the client this morning. He was thrilled with the awesome results that Brendan provided on short notice. The client raved about the ceremony sound, non-stop dancing, and the overall service received.

My thanks to Brendan for bailing me out and for giving the client what he deserved, a great wedding ceremony and reception.

Bottom line, make sure you have a network of colleagues to rely on. You never know when you'll need the help.

On this day, July 26, 1975, "The HUSTLE" (a line dance already popular in Manhattan discotheques) hits the top spot on Billboard's Hot 100 chart.

Songwriter Van McCoy's mostly instrumental homage will kick-start disco music's rise, win a Grammy, and become one of the definitive grooves of the '70s.

Had some fun playing dj for a stellar retirement party at the Neighborhood Club, Quincy MA. on Saturday night.

The honoree Keith and my great friend Rick were dressed to the nines as were all of the guests. - chic retirement attire of black, white , and gold. No jeans, please -

A good time was had by all.

IT WAS THE 3rd of JUNE -

🎵Was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty delta day

I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hay

And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat

And mama hollered out the back door, "Y'all remember to wipe your feet"

And then she said, "I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge

Today Billie Joe McAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"🎵

Appropriate song for today, March 15th. "Vehicle" (I'm your vehicle, ,baby) by The Ides of March.

A nice thank you from the mother of the Bat Mitzvah girl from Saturday night. There were nearly 50 kids and thus it was a bit challenging. But all turned out well.
Kudos to my partner for the night Sean Green for running the photobooth and to Brendan Burchill for providing the uplighting, fine tuned twice at the event by Sean.
Teamwork contributes to success.
Hi Alex,
Thanks so much for Saturday night. The kids had a blast, and the candle-lighting ceremony was wonderful. I also loved the slide show -- partly because it was Elana's work, and partly because of the musical accompaniment.
I really appreciated your organization, as well.
The room looked great with the uplighting, and people loved the photo booth. I will write to Sean separately, to thank him.
All the best,
Bette

It is very gratifying when the customer is happy and expresses it shortly afterward.
Makes it all worthwhile when your hard work is appreciated.

🎵I don't know what's going happen to you baby,
But I do know that I love ya.

You walk around this town with your head all up in the sky
And I do know that I want ya.

Let's dance, let's shout............................🎵
