Right. Where do I start? Well firstly I am typing this as I listen to my show...being broadcast on Jazz Syndicate Radio - sounds good - well better than usual!! Gawd knows how many people listen - two, twenty, two hundred, two thousand? Actually, who cares? If only one person is listening and getting enjoyment from it then great! I have great fun putting the shows together (well most of the time - more later) - talking to my invisible audience.

Also please find an ad for The JSR Soul Out here or somewhere around here!! One day I'll get the hang of this Blogger lark!!Should be a fun night. As I'm not sure where Colchester is I doubt I'll be there but you never know!!

Well today I recorded next week's show. I don't usually do it on a Saturday, but as everyone was out, I'd done my housekeeping chores in the morning I thought what the hell. I had huge trouble deciding what to play. After setting everything up I started (having changed the battery on my MiniDisc) - playlist as follows: -

Everybody Here Must Party - Direct Current
Headlights - The Whispers
I Don't Want Nobody Else To Dance With You - Narada Michael Wilson
Get Up & Boogie - Freddie James
Everybody Get Dancin - The Bombers
Don't Hold Back - Cahnson
A Lovers Holiday - Change
Bussle - Opus 7
Wide receiver - Michael Henderson
Funk Machine - 21st Creation
Sneaking Out The Back Door - Family Plann
Everyway But Loose - Oneness of Juju
Radiation Level - Sun

....then......

DISASTER

the MiniDisc decided to stop recording. I am clueless why. Checked it it was still on Long Play. To be honest I think it has become an arbiter of my shows....I was really struggling putting something together - I had hundreds of records out all over the place, grabbing from here then there....so it stopped. So after 80 minutes or so I started all over again, in a right bad mood! My thought was f**k it I am going to play from the party boxes. I went for it!! Well the playlist is 'classic disco' 1979....you'd pay good money for this set in a Disco back then...I started a little cheesey but then from track 4 I started to drop the bombs, and they kept coming. I even did some mixing - it might sound shit but felt good at the time. So next Saturday's show 1st April is one not to miss - believe me - hopefully the levels are OK. I really don't care that I have played the majority of the tracks on the station before. It will be a good one - I worked up a sweat and felt good at the end of it. Cheered me up after a fairly miserable week!! Hope it cheers you up!
