I saw this on another Facebook Group Page. Name your favorite Leatherneck DJ. Let me start... Mine is Damon DJ Davie - he is Que, and I learn so much from him before I became a Que and after - DJ-Wise. Dope DJ. Knew how to rock a party and gave me pointers. Circa 1986-1987. Hopefully, it still shows.
