Retiring with Grace: Passing the Mic to the Next Generation


Listen Later

Ray the DJ started spinning records in the late '70s and turned a hobby into a legacy. He shares how technology changed the business, but people skills, integrity, and service kept it thriving. We talk about the power of music to create memories, the importance of planning, and how his daughter Mary is stepping in to carry the torch.
