You know summer is winding down when you get a vague sense that you're running out of sunlight.

Today's song is Ray Charles' cover of "Summertime in the City" by the Lovin' Spoonful. The only thing I seemed to see today were black folk sweating.

Tonight I DJ'ed a soul music set at a party at my friend's record store. Man, the music was poppin'! lol

No single song can capture today, since it was full of great music. But learn about Chess Records, a local label.

My wedding's coming up, every day getting closer. So many things to do until then.

Ran all over creation trying to get things done today...doing the do and making the moves. I have some projects I'm working on, including building my etsy shop and producing a podcast. I'm pumped!

Today's song is "Morning Star" by Kool and the Gang, another great single I recently aquired on 45. :o)

Ok, I'm trying over. My last blog could have been a contender, but now it's a nobody because I deleted it! Oh well. My words, like so many others spoken or written before, have gone back to the ether. But seriously, I want to produce a blog of better quality than the previous, and to use the medium more wisely. So check back with me frequently as I build my blog.
