Now, there's one thing I always wondered about Disc Jockeys when I was very young: Don't you have to know how to ride a horse in a big, scary race like the Grand National or something, before you can call yourself a jockey? And why did you never see DJ's such as Tony Blackburn and Kenny Everett wearing their jockeys 'silks' and helmets when at the turntables, and waving their whips in the air, saying 'Come On, Come On, We've got to make a length on the leader if we're going to win that Gold Cup...

...Come to think of it, but God, it must have been painful sitting up on a big vinyl disc right through a race like the National or Cheltenham, and something makes me think that a piece of vinyl would have had no chance against the speed and agility of Red Rum or Shergar at the jumps....

BTW, The latest news on the worldwide Disc Jockey front is that in Australia, jockeys are being asked to stop using their whips so hard in races, as they could be done for animal cruelty. Couldn't agree more, as using the whip too hard can do some damage to both CD's and decks, which aren't cheap to repair, I can tell you...

My DJ repertoire is quite unlike any other on the scene: Expect
