How Long Have I Been DJing?

I first started playing music at home on an old record player.  They were mostly 45 RPM.  I remember buying 8-Track Tapes from a local DJ and the person I call "My Music Mentor"...his name was Bonner Dell Harris.  

It was in 1978, when I joined the military (Air Force) and stationed at Blytheville Air Force Base, Arkansas.  It was there that I began public DJing in 1979 at The Strato Club.  This was an all enlisted rank club, game room and bar.  Later on the place was relocated to a renovated building known as Kingsley Hall Recreation Center.  This was now the New Strato Club.  This picture below was my DJ Booth and I was DJing for five(5) until 1984.
