For one Maine man, it appears age is just a number.
Brian Phoenix, 71, of Saco, Maine, recently went viral for continuing to work as a DJ and play music off of CDs after working in the field for 40 years
According to “Good Morning America” (GMA), video footage of Phoenix working at an Oct. 7 wedding was shared on TikToc by event guest Miranda Dolph.
She captioned the clip, “Went to a wedding and they had the cutest old DJ who used his CD collection for all the music ?”
Dolph to “GMA,” “When I looked over, I could see him digging through the CD collection and lining up the next songs and that’s what really struck me, and I think struck others, was just, you know, from all the weddings I’ve been at, I usually just see people using playlists and computers and not necessarily digging through all the CDs.”
She also added, “Watching Brian DJ, I thought it was inspiring for him to be doing what he loves to do.”
“When I spoke with him after the video took off, it was very clear to me how passionate he is about DJing, and that that’s why he does it — and to be honest, his message just made me happy, to know that that’s what he’s doing,” Dolph said.
