I'm Back--Sort Of

Scottieholics! Salutations! Well, I'm back at the writing desk again. Unfortunately, personal issues has pulled me away from the keyboard once again. C'est la vie. Things are going good and about to be better so I have no complaints. Okay, I'll take that back. It has finished raining and the last thing I want is lightning to strike me and the computer.

Like many hockey fans, I'm not a fan of the Detroit Red Wings. I'm sure some of you readers are Detroit fans and I mean no offense about it. I just feel like I stepped into the Twilight Zone by seeing the Red Wings and the Penguins pair up again. I may watch it since both teams are much more seasoned than the previous match-up. I have a strange feeling on who is going to take the coveted Stanley Cup. But since I have many positives going my way at the moment, it's best to shut it.

As of late, I've been reminiscing about my deejaying gigs from my Air Force days. I thought about deejaying again, but from experience, the general public prefer music you'd hear on the radio. C'est la vie. It's best to express my way of deejaying through mix CDs to friends. It's very structured compared to doing it live.

When I did my gigs live, I never, I repeat, never used a play list. Also, I have a Dr. Johnny Fever (yes, a "WKRP in Cincinnati" reference) approach towards my sets. Like Johnny, I never followed music trends at the time-and still don't-and always highlighted the old favorites. There was one person who begged me to play something current. I did, but it was used for a bathroom break.

Along with those oldies, I sneaked in some music people wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. Here are the vids down below:

The Partridge Family



The Sesame Street Pinball Count (FYI: Performed by the Pointer Sisters)



And of course, I had a cool response from this song down below. Hell, I was requested to play it twice!

"Theme From Star Trek"-Deodato



Well, this concludes the trip down memory lane. In the meantime...



...arrivderci and Godspeed! And yes, I did close one of my gigs with the PBS logo music.
