In addition to radio, I have done a lot of mobile DJ work over the years. I have played at countless parties,weddings and bars. My favorite (and by far the most memorable) place to play was a bar called Mr.Peabody's Pub on Pearl Rd. in Old Brooklyn,Ohio. This little place changed my life! I "spun the tunes" at Peabody's almost every weekend from 1983 until '96. I met my wife Karen there and many other folks who remain great friends to this day! It was a real life "Cheers". The people are what made it special. Of course,I like to think the tunes were pretty good too!! Karaoke had not come around just yet, and so much of the music on the radio at that time was upbeat and positive. Folks came to the bar every weekend ready to hang out with friends, dance, party, and simply have a great time. It was truly a great era to play dance music for the crowd.
