Today Is Our Day, National Disc Jockey Day

Wow, a national day for all of us that love to bring music to the airwaves. I didn't even know there was a National Disc Jockey Day until I began researching it.Everyone knows a DJ; thousands claim that they are one (even if they only mix it up in their bedrooms).

National Disc Jockey Day is celebrated in remembrance of the death of Albert James Freed.  Freed, also known as Moondog, was an influential disc jockey in the 1950s.  He is credited with introducing the term “rock ‘n’ roll” to the world.

Disc Jockey Day is all about celebrating the hard working entertainers that have brought energy to radio's and dance floors across the globe.

Respect needs to be paid to Disc Jockeys of all levels from velvet suited wedding crooners to international superstars – if you’ve made people dance by playing back to back music, today is the day to hail your talents.

DJ’ing has moved way beyond two turntables and a microphone. It’s important to remember the definition of a Disc Jockey, a person who selects and plays recorded music for an audience; therefore anyone who is a DJ  get out there and play some music!
