disc jockey page -- the real deal

selects and plays prerecorded music for an intended audience. In our case, his name is

What is it? You or people around you think that rock music is filled with the most shallow inane lyrics and causes everyone who hears it to start growing horns out of their heads. Stop it. Stop it right there. Frank has some pudding (proof flavored) to share with you. He talks. He walks and talks. He sits and talks. Heck, he's our deejay (see above), he'd better talk. Who will he talk to? Pretty much anyone. High school classes. Youth groups. Small groups. You get the idea, and he comes technologically prepared if that's what you're looking for... like more info? just ask |
