Greetings from beautiful San Luis Obispo, California, where it's slightly chilly with the wind, but otherwise very beautiful. I'm very refreshed after lots of sleeping yesterday afternoon into evening after an incredibly busy week, including three DJ gigs, which is the most I've done in a week at a time when I've been doing a few a year. There is some amazing gigs happening in our little town with some really passionate DJs who are out to make their own special imprint, going above and beyond, and going beyond expectations of the masses, to share their love of quality music with people. When done on their terms, it's very gratifying. I got to do that three times this week, and always grateful for the opportunity, without having to compromise. At a time when DJ legends are under attack from management in some club quarters, it's always good when the enlightened allow for branching out of ideas of time and space, to let good music be, to let good DJs create unforgettable experiences that are unexpected.

So this show! If you've been following me, you may know that I've been at this great station about 12 miles from San Luis Obispo, 97.3 The Rock, located in Estero Bay, practically Morro Bay really. The station was in the midst of its annual fundraising drive when I arrived, and I'm happy that it's able to meet and exceed its fundraising goal. It was cutting it close, because there have been other low power FM stations that have shuttered around the country, because they couldn't meet their operating costs. This station consists of all volunteers, and without reaching its goal it wouldn't have been possible for the station to continue. So to see the troops...that is, the community, rally in force, is very gratifying. It shows that people care about having the best live DJs around. Believe me, these are very passionate and dedicated on-air personalities who love the shows they do, and it's great that all of us will have another year of programming to share. I'm honored to be among them.

The show was recorded a few days after the fundraising drive has closed in spectacular fashion, with a concert and silent auction that was standing room only and pushed over the fundraising goal nicely. This is the first show at the station where I did a full-on club mix, from beginning to end. It's been quite awhile, and it felt great to deliver the very cool new tunes that have been filling up my box.

Have a listen, and please enjoy the music. Most of all, do tell your friends about the show!

Peace.
