Alright folks, I've got to share this with you. This is absolutely wonderful. I've got a message here from Shem XL. Thanks, I've got to say this, you're awesome, right? Now then, forget about me, just listen to this. I don't know if it's just because of all the circumstances or divine intervention or whatever, but one fact remains. If it weren't for your 10 minute mix idea, I'd never... Move my ass, figure out how to position my camera over my decks, record my set, screw around with the audio and editing software, upload it to YouTube and get to play my first gig in three weeks from now, right? This is so cool. I've been discovered and booked by one guy who went wow after he watched my ten minute mix. And there you go.

And you can't even imagine how long I was waiting for all this to happen. Not even trying to find myself a place to DJ in because club owners were turning me down. That's because I play what I love to play, in brackets. I'm excited, nervous, stressed and happy at the same time, which believe it or not is great. What was your first gig? Were you nervous? Yes. Still am now, believe me. Where are we now? Were you nervous? Did you spill some beer over the mixer? No. Was your mind constantly occupied with thoughts of what if my stylus wears off? No, a few more thoughts on that. What if needles skip? What if mess up the transition? What if crowd don't like it? Etc. Mine sure is, well that's true, yeah, you're always thinking of God knows what. Thanks again, you're great and if your goal was to get some talents...

Although I wouldn't call myself that, from YouTube to clubs, you've made it. I am so chuffed! In-chuffed! Oh, that is so good. Really, as God is my witness, that is so chuffed. That's made my day. Thank you very much. That's made my day. So, I'm so happy. Really am. That is just brilliant. Spot on. Ladies and gentlemen, practice and enjoy!
