DJ Steve Marker Returns For Brother’s Bar Mitzvah

 
It was good to see the Didner’s again! I performed at Aaron’s Bar Mitzvah in November, 2010. Tonight though it was brother Joey’s time. His Bar Mitzvah was held Saturday, March 31, 2012 at the Marriott Hotel Downtown Waterfront in Portland. The celebration was in the Mt. Hood Room… same as Aaron’s two years ago, so some good history there.
 
As guests arrived, I played a little soft jazz background music. Kids and parents enjoyed the food and drinks and were laughing and having a good time. Everyone then sat down for dinner and watched a video of Joey… we saw many cute pictures of him, along with family members and friends.
 
At the conclusion of the video, we went right to dancing and I got them going with a swing dance contest. The funny thing about this was normally the kids win, but this time the adults got the win and the kids were judging! lol. Next I played ‘The Hora’ and everybody was on the floor… it was amazing.
 
Slow dances were popular at Joey’s party and the guys were not shy about asking the girls to dance. For the limbo, it was guys vs. girls and it came down to one girl and one boy in the finals. Who won? Would you believe the crazy guys took it away from the girls. The fellas won this time 🙂
 
I also played music for the adults and brought it back for them, reminding them when they were young dancing. A slow dance closed the night out and family and friends crowded the floor, giving Joey huge hugs as the party ended. I have known this family for a long time and I am going to miss them very much. They have been so good to me and it was my pleasure to be here to have fun with Joey and his family. I love you guys! -Steve
