Have I mentioned how much I love live radio? Being a DJ/Engineer/Producer is a dream come true- I enjoy it so much that I'd do it for free...oh, right. I do do it for free.Saturday I had two shows as DJ and a third as Engineer/Producer- my stalwart DJs Phil and CC had an amazing musical guest, Gull (aka Nate), a one-man band unlike anything I'd ever run sound for... dude played guitar with his left hand, drums with his right hand and feet and 'sang' muffled and ominous-sounding verbalisms into a microphone that he had placed into the piehole of a handmade serial-killeresque mask...he totally rocked the house, playing funky, pounding beats while riffing bass lines and melodies with an awe-inspiring one-handed guitar technique that reminded me of Robert Fripp playing Van Halen...or maybe the other way around. In any case, I enjoyed the heck out of it - and Nate had a great time too! Our music studio is a homey, funky place to play and Gull was right at home ( pics by Phil and/or Wendy).
I got a phone call from my blogpal Jackie Sue ( who is feeling much better) and when I got home I had a wonderful email from Whim, whose capricious signal had allowed her to hear most of my shows, including the songs that I played for her...sigh.
What a great day it was.
