[Dixielandjazz] DJs are laughable

[Kent Murdick]

When you watch one of these DJs work, they look and act as though they 
have some part in the creation of the music and perhaps even think of 
themselves a musicians.  I think the audience also tends to identify the 
DJ as having musical skills since he  controls the sound and picks the 
tunes played.  It's a brave new world.  I read where one of the Baldwin 
brothers (the one that can't act) was being paid more than 20k per night 
to DJ somewhere in France.  When was the last time you brought home 20K 
from a gig?
