A simple DJ fix

Today I was at one of my best friends daughter 1rst birthday. And oh am I upset at what I witnessed today. So they had a DJ already reserved and he called in the night before saying he couldn’t make it. So they called in someone else at the last minute. WOW! Was this guy dumb or what? So the sound was absolutely horrible and full of static. I analyzed him the whole afternoon, and he would unplug all the cables and blow in them and plug them in again. It still did not fix anything. It got to a point that I got really upset, and approached the guy and asked him if everything was okay. Mind the fact that it was really windy out today. His answer was that the wind was affecting his equipment. I mean this guy just pissed me off at that point of how illiterate he was sounding at that moment.

I politely asked him if I could intervene and possibly resolve the situation, he said yes. The first thing that I immediately did, was turn everything off and unplug the speaker cables. I ran to my car and swapped the cables with some spare cables that I had in my car. I came back and plugged in the new cables and turned everything back on. The music sounded crystal clear with no more problems. I simply told the gentlemen, wind has nothing to do with it, it was the cables that were bad.

I guess what I’m trying to get across with this. Is that there are a lot of people out there that are ripping off people for something that they have never even done in their life. This makes us the professional’s look really bad. People need to be conscious of what they are doing before they go out in public and make themselves look really bad in front of everybody. At the end of the party the guy went to the dad of the birthday girl and gave them their money back.
