TRANSLATION:"Then the opera 'Il Guarany' [on the radio] played, and I loved that but I didn't understand and I wondered how that little box could talk and at the same time play music.""I was lucky to work as a DJ from 1958 to 1968, so I left the profession to take care of the family. And also because I got a monotony of always doing the same thing.""My boss lent me a [record player]. I took it to the dance and started to play. When I was finishing a song I was already playing another. But at the end of the party, they came up to me and said:" Don't do this anymore, we didn't like it. "."[The pause] it was time to switch to change partners. If a lady was not liking the gentleman, she could expel him.""I think that for the DJ it is very fascinating to be there watching all the people dancing, it infects me with all that joy"
