Update

Hey y'all,

Have not had a chance to post all week, so here are some of the latest things going on...

Last Saturday's Austin Breaking Ground was a great success. We had a very nice turnout and good vibes all around. People enjoyed the music I played and the fashion show and dance performances were way cool. Soon we begin planning for the spring event.

Other things happening last week: client meetings and planning sessions, jam session with Bill Wiz for an upcoming benefit concert on Oct. 20th at Unity Center, radio shows Mon & Tues, ACC video shot rehearsal on Wednesday for TECEC, training my friends about audio recording at The Foundation.

Last night I had two gigs. The first being a jr high dance at Fulmore Middle School which was great. Played mostly hip-hop and had a guest performance by one of the students that people loved. After that, went to Flamingo Cantina for another version of Catch A Fire. The vibes were nice and we played more roots reggae than dancehall, even played some ska early on and some soca too.

Today, planning sessions for two weddings next weekend. One will be an 80s theme and the other mostly music from Ghana. I am excited about how both of them are coming together.

Tomorrow my father arrives in town and will stay with me for a week or so and I am sure we will get to listen and learn more about 50s and 60s music as we always do, staying up way too late into the night.

Implementation of the online planning tools is nearing completion and I am loving it so far. Streamlining a lot of processes and will save lots of time with managing the business. The redesign of the website is in full swing and should be live in the next 30 days.

All for now.

Have a blessed weekend!

DJ-RJ
