Knowing absolutely no shame, (as you can tell by my auctions) I held a job in a disco as a "Disco Barker" during the 80's
What is a "Disco Barker" you ask?
I would wear a white disco suit and stand outside yelling at people to come inside like one of those barkers for the sex stores on time square only I was selling "DISCO! instead of sex
So for eight hours I would yelled
North, South, East, West,
This Disco is the BEST!
We've got music, we've got lights
and we're glad to have you here TONIGHT!
In the Disco where I work you could count on at least one big fight a night.
Knifes, guns, gangs, riots you name the type of fight we had it! Meanwhile I would be yelling
"Disco! That's where the happy people go!"
Obviously such a difference between the fantasy and the reality could not continue and within six months, Disco was dead! And you have me to dead for it. As annoying Disco was, it is more annoying to have someone yell in your face about it. So,... I was out of a job and needed another gig.
But Now with my auctions and upcoming cable access show, I can make amends. I can bring back DISCO! Now my question to all of you is should I?
I play Disco on my horn hits like Disco Inferno and if I add my Disco Barking, It should bring back disco and provide work for other trumpet players. So what do you fellow trumpet players think?
