1. What types of music do you have?
 | Time Warp offers an extensive selection of songs from the current hits
back to the 1920's. This includes Pop-Rock, Country, Motown, Swing,
Big Band, and Classic Rock-Oldies. Edited-lyric versions of some of the
Top-40 songs are also available.

2. What if we want particular songs for our wedding or event?
| I usually have most songs that are requested, but if not I will make
every attempt to obtain songs that are special for you. If you have a list
of songs I will try to include as many of them as possible. I do not use a
pre-programmed format so I am very flexible. I adjust all selections
around your specifications, how your guests respond to the music, and try
to include as many requests as possible.

3. What kind of experience do you have?
| Since I started my business in 1984, I have played at hundreds of
events. I've provided music for numerous weddings, anniversaries, class
reunions, elementary through college dances, corporate parties, civic
events, New Year's Eve events, country dances, birthday parties, and
seniors' dances. My wide range of experience helps me provide you with a
special event filled with lasting memories.

4. Who will actually be the DJ who plays our music?
| I am a single system operator and I will be your DJ. I do not employ
others or delegate jobs to less experienced DJs. Being a DJ is an art form
and I provide a specialized service that cannot be duplicated.

5.
We have a plan in mind for our reception. Can you work around that?
| Absolutely, my goal is to provide you with a customized event. A
consultation will provide us with an opportunity to connect and discuss
all the details for your reception. We will cover what activities you want
to include and choose all your special songs. We will also discuss how
your wedding party will be introduced and the order of all activities. I
will manage the flow of events at your reception to ensure a smooth
fun-filled evening.

6.
Can guests make requests?
| Your guests are welcome to make requests. I make every reasonable
attempt to honor as many requests as possible. My extensive music
collection allows me to supply most requests. However, I cannot guarantee
fulfilling every request.

7. We've been to receptions where the music is too loud, the
DJ talked too much or there were gaps in the music. How do you prevent this?
| I am volume sensitive. Background music should be in the background so
guests can enjoy their conversations. At events such as wedding receptions
there is often a wide variety of generations. I adjust the volume to be
sensitive to the guests and events as they unfold. Louder is not
necessarily better. I limit my vocal involvement to the moments
where it is necessary to introduce people, encourage involvement or make
announcements. I am constantly cueing up the next songs to be ready for
that transition to create a continuous flow of entertainment.

8.
What kind of music do you have for teen parties that is appropriate for
school settings and fits parents' expectations?
| Young people want to have a great time and worry that school and
parent restrictions are going to prevent this. Parents and schools worry
about the music available today. I balance
those two conflicting views by pre-screening songs for content, monitoring
requests, and having edited lyric selections available. The majority of
the requests do not even fall in that category. So parents, teachers and
young people can relax and enjoy themselves.

9.
How are you attired for our event?
| I am attired appropriately for every event. For formal occasions I
wear a tuxedo. I try to match my attire to the event such as
business casual, casual, or even special themes like country or luaus.

10. Do you charge for travel or setup time?
| I do not charge for setup or travel time. You are paying for the time
that I play your music. A travel charge would only occur to offset
gasoline costs if there is a long distance involved such as over 100
miles. This is rarely involved since most of Northwest Ohio is within this
radius.

11. What does it cost if we want dance lights?
| I have a full light show and it is included in my fee. There is no
additional charge for lights. This
also applies to other equipment I provide. I supply wireless microphones
to make announcements and toasts unrestricted by table locations. For
anniversaries and events centered around a time period I will have fun
trivia available to enhance the fun. There are no additional charges. No
surprises. The fee you will be quoted includes everything. You can
purchase additional time as needed. I do ask for a $100 deposit to secure
the date and that is applied directly toward your balance.

12. I'm having my wedding ceremony outdoors and the
reception is in a different location. Can you provide sound for both?
| Yes. I have a second sound system available for a small additional
fee. This includes a lapel microphone for the person officiating your
marriage. I have a large selection of appropriate music for these
occasions. I have also played customer-provided cd's of musical
accompaniment and a microphone for the individual performing the vocals.
