music and fun

Last night I had a blast DJing at the Beach house.It started off kinda slow but Love shack ignited the desire to Dance.Derek and Sandy inspired many to Dance.
Thank you to Eric and Sandy for a fun night!

predator Dub Assasins

Today was my day off and for the last 2 days I have been wanted to go CD shopping but mature nature cancelled my plans with thunder storms.Today although the humimity was upI ventured out on my bike anyway so among my stops was Atomic CDs in Point Plwasant beach
I picked up a CD by a band by Predator Dub Assasins.They are an awsome reggae band despite they're name.No Gangsta vibes here!
Not long ago I picked up a compilation with them on it and them I saw one of just them but could only afford one CD that day so when I saw the otgher one today I immediatly grabbed it!
If you like reggae you will surely enjoy the Predator Dub Assasins!

Django Reinhart

Since discovering the greatness and beauty of jazz and swing in the late 80s many artists have got me curious about they're sound.Django is one one these artist and hear of but not really listened to so of course I went our library and ordered a box set.
everytime I discover a new jazz singer or player I think of my Dad.He gave me my first jazz record in 8th grade.He was expanding my record collection and broadening my taste in music at the same time.Im sure he was saying to himself.I gotta get this kid listening to more than she is.
Not to boast but I think he was proud of how Ive grown up musically.It all started with a Herb Albert record..the one of the girl covered in whipped cream.Yeah you know the one..admit it!

hot as heck

a few days ago my AC konked out upstairs.the downstair unit still works so being I had today off I slept downstairs last night.If another actually when another heat wave its I'll use the guestroom alarm clock for downstairs.more later time to get my paycheck,a haircut and lunch with friends.

download vs whole albums /CDs

a While ago my sister told me no one buys whole CD or albums anymore.But serious music collectors do.
The cover art and liner nots are worth it even if there are just a few songs you like at first.
Resently i purchased "Lother and the Hand People" and didnt realized they were a band from the late 60s till I read the liner notes.
I also purchased Procul harums greatest hits and rediscovered old faves.
So go ahead buy The WHOLE thing at your record store or online..whatever.trust me Im right on this one!

Zap Mama

Curt Nicholas put a song by the band Zap Mama on the last mix he made me while on leave from the Navy.I like them!I,ve been into old funk and reggae as my Eclectic Summer mixes show.
the next mix im listening to is a compilation of reggae artists doing covers of disney tunes.pretty cool.
My friend Al Telstar send me a mix called sax hunt.Cool Jazz.
While im on the subject of music the Sherman brothers are playing Friday night at Marlins in Point Pleasant beach!
