Saturday Night Live #10

This has been a busy few weeks because I have missed posting the video of my last two mixes! AYYY YAY YAY! So, I'm back but busier than ever. Work is great, lots of travel involved but luckily very close to home so I am always able to get back in good time. Some cities have no vibe, I guess unless you live there. Columbus, OH was BOOORING! Nothing to do after work hours and no jazz spots! Cleveland was BOOORING! Nothing to do afterwork hours and no jazz spots! So, it's good thing I bring my music to keep me company and I have FACEBOOK and IM to talk w/ friends! I did get a chance to meet an interesting bro this week though. Peter Shankman, founder of the HELP A REPORTER OUT website, a site that was founded by way of facebook, then went on to be it's own site connecting people to reporters all over the world. He also introduced me and others to an item called a POKEN. It's a small item that fits on your keychain that digitally carries around all of your social contact information! It fits right into your USB drive and if you meet someone who has a "poken", you hold yours and theirs together and your social "business cards" are exchanged digitally. It is a truly amazing little unit and worth checking out here at www.doyoupoken.com.

Well, on the music tip, I am attaching two video here because as thing always happen, my computer updated while I was spinning!!! So, it cut off for two minutes, so I have the first 30 minutes in one video and the rest of the show in the second. You can still enjoy the music as I am rocking some WBMX style house at the beginning, then I go into dropping the new deep house joints! Enjoy the music and I will be back to posting next week, so pass this blog along to other people you think would like the music! As always, please leave feedback and comments if you like!

Saturday Night Live - Part I (the music starts at 1:11)


Saturday Night Live - Part II

Saturday Night Live #9

Chicago! It's my hometown and there is a certain part of it that I love. The memories of my childhood, I think of them often. I was sorry to see that the city did not get the 2016 Olympics, but I was even sadder to see video of a young boy beaten to death on the city streets! What are these young people doing to each other! It hurts to even talk about it. I grew up on those same streets and though I lost friends, it wasn't a regular occurrence. Now, you can almost set your clock by the number of incidents! I pray that my old hood and town will get it together before our total destruction!

Also, on a similar tip, I hope you will visit the following website:http://www.clicktoempower.org/
My employer, Allstate© Insurance, sponsors this site supporting victims of domestic violence. This is a subject I know of well and maybe someday I will write about the horror. But, for now I will ask that you please visit the site and become more informed and maybe you will be moved to help!

This week, the music is bangin' as usual. Starting with some NYC club bangers, some new house, then digging in the crates to drop some deep joints! I hope you enjoy! As always, please leave some comments and/or feedback! Next weeks mix will be a tribute to Osunlade!

Saturday Night Live #8

The LIONS won a game! yay. I'll take the win, even if it is against a team that HAS TO BE lowlier that my Lions...the Washington Redskins! All I can say is, that's what Washington gets for having a Native American bro on their helmets! Karma is a beeeyaaaa and I bet that franchise can prepare themselves for more misfortune. Anyway, uhhh....hmmm....MLB playoffs are coming up, let's hope the Detroit Tigers make it (mainly because I want to get to a game and see the Yankees set it off). I actually went and saw the play "Little Women" in Royal Oak, MI last Friday. One of my co-workers was in the production and did a fantastic job! Acting! Singing! Dancing! She had me thinking we were on Broadway!....well....at least OFF-Broadway! Celeste was dynamite though and it makes you wonder about all the people out there with these gigantic talents just waiting to bust out!!! I think she's gonna be in a movie someday or maybe even Broadway!....
MUSIC! Here is the video cast of the mix from the lab! I opened with old school WBMX classic joints, then went into some new deep house. Enjoy the tunes and as always, leave comments, feedback, etc! It just helps me keep the groove on lock for ya!

Saturday Night Live #7

How about a little "documentary" recommendation first??? My girl Rachelle Salnave-Gardner put her heart and soul into a documentary about Harlem, N.Y.'s historic 125th st. mart. Here is the link to her FACEBOOK® page where you can get information about the film, Rachelle and how to support her efforts if you like:

Good Luck my sister!!! Now, here is the video webcast of me spinning last Saturday night. I dropped some new house, Chicago house and then ended on some Philly Soul cuts. I even dropped a few afrobeat grooves! I hope you listen/view and enjoy AND drop comments etc.!
