a new mix fan?

My neice Amber and I spent some time together tonight.I think she felt rejected because she wasnt getting time on the wii.Recently a fellow mixmaker sent me a copy of a kids friendly mix she made for her sons 2nd Birthday.I lent it to Amber.She went through some CDs I had on top of the Downstairs stereo.She said she liked jazz so I lent her a CD I made my dad shortly before he died.She showed me some of her gymnastic moves.Of to be young and skinny again!My biggest athletic acheivement as a little girly was climbing trees and fences.I was no Nadia Comaneech(Spelling??)She asked me to make another Kids mix.OK there kiddo get ready for a mix from Aunt DJ Trish!

Clambake 2011

Everyone said the weather was going to be lousy today but they were wrong.The weather was awesome.I met up with alumni and old friends at the clambake and received many positive comments.There were no fights or unrulyness that I observed.I beleive that to be because of Police presence by the beertruck.THAT was chief Chips idea!
The Sherman Brothers Band were awesome too!Joyce said there wasnt any dancing but I saw a small group dancing to my right.That always puts a smile on my face and a glow in my heart.I guess thats whats its about.seeing your audience have fun!
Special Shout outs to George and Beth for roadie work afterwords and to Tom Migut for fetching beer for me and watching my gear during bathroom breaks.Also to Joyce and Chip and for everyone at the BHFC for the love and support.Thank you for folks from the BHIA who were able to attend.
It was truly an awesome day!

peddle peddle go go

At Arpund 4:15 today the head lifeguard announce over the radio for the rest of the lifeguards to pack a few things up in case the storm hits.
Storm what storm?all I see are blue skies.The wind started to pick up.then I turned and looked to the west.grey skies.When we got called in a wasted no time and pedeled homeward only stopping for red lights,people crossing and street and beer.
My cell rang and it was Chip.We made a time for pick up of the gear.When I arrived home I called hime and he arrived in 10 minutes.After the gear was packed he did have time to enjoy a beer and chat.
He enjoys the down time especially since the day before clamback is always busy as hell.
We both agreed how around this time of year we look forward to life getting back to normal after labor day.
I will miss being able to just getting in my beach uniform.What i have to dress in normal paraproffesional garb now?Ahhh!dress shoes,knee hights clean shirt..ahhhh!
OK breathe breathe.
Focus!Clambake!Live in the moment girl live in the moment!

45 minutes each side

I don't use it much anymore but once in a while I check out to see whats going on at Art of the mix.
Someone posted a blog about the old days of the mixed tape..yes cassette.They rememmber it the way I do.Locking themselves in their room and in from of them was a turntable and a tapedeck.
How did we do without iphones and ipods?Come back with me in time zwoop zwoop zwoop!
If you had to make a call you went to a phonebooth and searched frantically for the correct change.The receiver was often covered my greazy oily handcream of perfume.Other folks numbers were written on the sides or other gross graffiti johnny is a c--k sucker or Brenda like Joeys big fat d--k.
You had your yellow Sony Walkman and if you had a 90 minute mix each side was a mere 45 minute.If you didn't clean the tape heads all the magnetism would build up and the tape would get eaten.If you stopped the tape in time it could be saved but if not that tape was history.If things were really messed it you had to figure out how to get all of the tape out of the mechanism without breaking the machine.
The rest I told you about in an earlier blog about the hardship but creative adventures of the recording process itself.
Oh and home phones?I remember being on the phone and someone picking up the other end announcing they were expecting a call or had to make one.
Oh and it you dare walk too far away and stretch that 10 foot cord beyond its limits and get it tangled up.
Coughing into the receiving was also frowned upon.I was of ten blamed for spreading a cold around after coughing in the receiver.Ma bell probably got the flu because of me coughing into the phone.
If you had a white phone your hands better be Ivory clean baby.If not who do you think got blame for the dirty fingerprints on the phone?If the smelled like motor oil it was my brother.
The advancement of technology isn't so bad after all huh?
OK time to come back to current time zwoop zwoop zwoop..ding!Time to go to bed.Its a work night.

What is Marriage?

Last night I saw an episode of VH1 about Ricky Martin and his coming out.Dayam he is so cute and I'd bet make a great husband for a woman and now he's gay?
What is it about gay folks thats thay think marriage is a right?
OK If your gay your gay ,I get that.BUT
Marriage is an istiftution made by GOD FOR a MAN and a WOMAN to join together TILL DEATH DO THY PART.
Folks are so freaked out by the end times these days and its predictions.
Congress and the Sanate are trying to change Gods law and suite special interests groups like gays,transy,bi's etc but gosh folks GODS law is GODS law.
Perhaps we need to examine the 10 commandments again?
Don't get me wrong I respect all walks of life but does that mean my beleifs and principles get compromised?
Go to Russia and talk about gay marriage
Go to China and talk about gay marriage
go to Germany and talk about gay marriage
Sadly Christianty is a harder subject to accept these days.
The Moral Majority is now the Moral minority.
When I was in youth group I often hears about Christian Bible studies happening in school.Sadly today bringing a bible to school is frowned on.
We dont even have a rabbi or a minister at graduations anymore.
Gosh folks why are out youth turning to drugs and gang Violance?
Anyone?????
