DJ'ing was born before World War 1

Did not know something like that exists! Amazing!!!!

This topic is proving to be really fun, so I'll add to it. I found this little system, which dates back to the 1920's!

I'd love to have something like that in my home- it is a lovely piece of history, and a lovely piece of furniture. I bet it would cost a lot of money though...

Can you imagine the DJ's of the time though? Instead of: 'Everybody in the house say yeah!', it would be: 'Will all persons in the establishment please, kindly give some indication of their approval!'

And, instead of 'everybody wave your hands!' it would be 'Would all persons kindly raise their upper limbs and gyrate them in an energetic fashion!'

And: Instead of 'Here's Gangnam Style' - 'here's an interesting tune from an Oriental gentleman, which has caused lots of unusual gyrations'!

Oh I could go on forever!
