Experience: My first experience as a DJ was at age nine in a radio broadcasting course that I took at Oakland Community College. This course taught the very basics of creating a show that involved signing-on, playing a song, reading a fake news script, playing another song, reading fake (and in some cases quite comical) radio ads, playing more music, and then signing-off. The show did not get broadcast. It was only recorded on tape, but it was enough to get me hooked. The next summer I took the class again. Although the curriculum did not please me the second time around, I got a great thrill out of being able to play with all of those cool knobs and buttons again. That thrill has been sitting in the back of my mind ever since then.

The radio broadcasting classes must have inspired me to pull out my little dual cassette deck every now and then because I have a tape on my shelf labeled "Robbie's Mix." If I remember correctly, this "mix" was of the start-dubbing, stop-dubbing, switch-tapes, and-start dubbing-again quality.
