Photo finish Remember last summer when we asked you to send a color photo of yourself either at a job, or from your promotional literature? Well, needless to say, we had plenty of response. So much in fact, that when we decided to end die year with our first annual "Reader appreciation cover" it was quite a chore selecting which photos to use. In the end, the production department made the selection, On The Cover based upon the quality (clarity, color and From left to right, top to bottom: contrast) of the photos. The photos used 1. Bill Lagosse, Good Vibrations, Warwick, Rl •>were randomly selected from all those ac 2. Bob Riley (background), S.Weymouth, MA ceptable. So whether you sent in a photo that 3.

You may see your photo on the cover of our January 1996 5. Charles Miles, Mixation DJs, Tuscaloosa, AL issue (photos taken at holiday parties receive 6.

Still bimonthly It seems we confused a few readers when we stopped listing both months on the cover of each issue. For example, this is our December 1994-January 1995 issue, but the cover shows onlyJanuary. This change was at the request of our national newsstand dis tributor and does not reflect a change in our publication schedule, Mobile Beat remains a bimonthly publication. If you have any doubt, both months are still noted on the spine.

Holiday wrapping It may be hard to believe, but it's about time for the final countdown of another year. Whether or not your photo is on the cover means little compared to the appreciation we have for you who continue to make being a DJ and/or KJ an endeavor that goes far beyond personal enrichment. As this holiday season peaks, let's consider ourselves fortunate to work face to face, night after night with an often impatient and unappreciative public. There will always be a demanding grinch who'll try to spoil the party. When this happens, focus on those who enjoy what you do and how you do it. If that fails, think about that check waiting at die end of the night! Fortunately, for every Scrooge there are countless others who never complain but simply enjoy the holidays and the contribution DJs and KJs make to their festivities. As this issue is both our last issue of 1994, and first of 1995, we take great joy in having this opportunity to offer you warmest greetings for the holidays and a wish for a prosperous and pleasant New Year. From all of us at MB, have a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and a terrific New Year!
