Doctor Boogie (TM) at V lounge with Magic 92.5

Many of you know that I've been an on air Mix DJ since 1997 and syndicated to a variety of radio stations around the country, San Diego, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City and New Orleans. As many as 28 stations through my syndicating agent through 2002-2006. Occasionally, it works out that I'm booked to play station events. Since 1998 I've been Dr Boogie (TM) on Magic 92.5FM

June 5th I played band breaks at the V lounge, all old school. Its a pretty casual environment since people really just take a break from gambling to come over to eat, drink and dance. But it was fun and stayed pretty busy all night.


Peter & Tianey Shin

This was a great small family wedding, both Peter and Tianey are Korean and many of the attendees made the trip from overseas (korea and a few other countries in the area). Rachel Penichi of Plan-It San Diego always does a great job and this particular wedding happened to fall in her birthday. From experience I knew that it could be difficult to really get this party up to full speed, social dancing just doesn't seem as big in some asian cultures as others.



They had a great time and danced a lot. Peter, the groom, came back after walking his new bride to their suite and thanked me personally. Despite over 15 years of experience, the biggest song of the night surprised me. Hava Nagila; and despite the fact that neither the bride or groom were Jewish, Peter's college buddies, talked him into asking me to play it and they lifted them each in a chair and we did the Hora... at a Korean wedding...

As long as they enjoyed themselves, that's all that's important.
