Hi people
You all know the situation where someone steps up and
asks for something different, OR funkier, OR mainstream OR anything
else than you are playing.
My answer to that : Sure - let me just check.
My solution to that (prepare at home):
Pick out a whitelabel from your collection.
Grab a nice pen and on the label write;
Something different OR something funkier OR.....
imagination can run wild here, but basically you can
adjust to the situation in a nice humourous way by
showing the jerk in front of you the answer to his
question.........
Dj Wax, Cph
