Why do quality DJ’s cost so much?

Well, I saw this on a DJ blog the other day and felt compelled to share it – it is so true!

If you ask yourself why DJ’s charge so much for performances? Because We don’t get paid vacation, we don’t get paid sick days, we don’t get bonuses for outstanding performances nor for Christmas. We don’t have insurance plans nor do we qualify for unemployment. We sacrifice our family on special days so that we can bring happiness to others. Illness or personal affairs are not excuses for a bad performance. Next time you ask, remember that DJ’s are DJ’s because of the LOVE of MUSIC, but that love doesn’t pay debts.

I have regularly worked on special family days (even my anniversary – with my wife’s approval!) and very rarely take vacations.  The last vacation my family and I took was a weekend away to Bodega Bay, and I DJ’ed a party while there!  Just my 2 cents worth!
