Who is this guy?
- Thread starter Papa Deuce
- Start date
This is my first time on the board and only discovered it after checking my webstat links.
To those that have met me and have made statements here. Thank you for the kind words. They are appreciated.
For those of you that choose to believe the commentary of the all-knowing cynic managing DJTalk. I am disappointed with you for making a decision based on someone else’s character assassination. Especially, since you likely have never met me as the DJTalk moderator has not. If you have met me and have found you dislike me. I respect you for standing by your personal convictions.
In view of these assumptions regarding my character and fatal flaws I will provide you with my reasons for making the decisions that I have.
1.I am a FULL TIME DJ. I do not have a part-time/full-time job to support my DJ business.
2.I have a family to support and they are the 1st priority for me.
3.I do not place myself on some sort of holier than thou pedestal. I am just a DJ like you.
4.I am continually trying new and different methods of getting business, ethically. Every now and then, I manage to find one that will work well for a time. Nothing ever lasts forever.
5.Based on previous fees starting point, the phone, pretty much, stopped ringing. So, I adjusted my starting point on the webpage to stimulate the phone calls. Which in turn allows me to up-sell. I feel this is far better than the phone not ringing at all and never having the opportunity to speak with a potential client. And, as it turns out, I end up at or near my usual fees because I begin building a relationship with the clients and they understand the value.
6.I don’t judge you based on what you charge or how you do business. My only desire is for everyone’s success.
7.I have spoken in the past at Mobile Beat and several other conventions , not for fame or glory. I have done so because I felt I had information that I thought might help others in various areas for their individual success.
8.I’ve been in this business for over 30 years and I’ve seen the ups and downs regarding most aspects of the mobile DJ “industry.” There is always more and there is always less, you just pick the moment.
9.It is always easy to be a critic before you know the person you are criticizing and nearly impossible after.
Thanks for reading this.
I hope I get to meet some of you and for those that I don’t, I wish you success in the endeavors you choose.
Ken Day - Yes, THAT Ken Day.

Oh, the KenDayOnline.com site was an experiment 4 years ago, that was not completed (as you could see) and will be going away.
Ken and the site listed as DJ Talk is of no affiliation of this site. Welcome to OUR DJ Talk. Please hang out and share some of your vast experiences here and be ready to listen. Theres alots of sharing going on here daily. Do ya know any good jokes?
I met Ken at MBLV09, a really nice guy. He actually listens to other DJs and puts in his opinion as needed.
Thanks Ken.
Thanks Ken.
Hey Chuck,
I have had the same goal for my daughters who are now 26 and 19. The brightest spot is that you will always be Daddy. Just thinking about this role brings a tear of joy to me almost every time.
It goes fast.

Ken Day. How you been my friend. Haven't seen you since Vegas 08. Hope all is well.
I once again assert Ken is a stand up guy. Although we only briefly spoke at MBLV 08, my wife and I had many occasions to just sit and chat with him on the cruise. He's not pretentious in any way, rather soft spoken most times and just darn friendly. He has a strong military back ground and retired from the Navy if I remember correctly. I found him to be confident yet humble. No big ego to feed. Likes a good joke and laughs easy.
Darn, he may not fit in here. lol

Hampton,
Thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with you and your wife. It's great to make friends. We'll have to make arrangements to connect again sometime.

Ken: No judgements here in fact I did not read the entire thread just grazed it... welcome aboard.
That was one hell of an introduction from what I can only assume is one hell of a guy.
I hope we get to know you better and share great ideas together even if disagreement arises.

Ken, welcome.
I have seen how you have gotten reamed for thinking outside the box on other sites. My thought was if he's p*ssing off the establishment and making a profit, he must be doing something right, because in the end of the day it's all about making a living and hopefully having fun along the way!
I hope we see you here often.

Thank you all for the welcoming.
I do hope to contribute occasionally. At least when I have something to contribute.

We except checks! Oh wait, we don't have a donation page like someone I know. Never mind.
Ken,
I think you'll have lots to contribute. Thanks.
