I am excited once again to be attending the Houston Ghamma DJ Symposium this weekend. I will get see all of my DJ friends from Houston and I will also get to interview one of my DJ heroes, Peter Merry for Austin Bridal Secrets. I'm really looking forward to it.
Last night I met with my bride Andrea to do her final planning session for her wedding Saturday night at The Winfield Inn in Kyle. She lives in Houston and was without power for several weeks after Ike. We have a great party ready to roll out an I'm sure it is going to be a great weekend!
Last night I was at the radio station doing some late night production and our midnight DJ did not show up so I did midnight to 3 AM on the air and had a great time. I played old school R&B, hip-hop and some jazz also. It was fun to be on overnight again and just be able to create. I haven't done one of those shifts since my days at KUT in the 90s.
That's it for now.
Have a great weekend!

Our station recognized by Austin Chronicle's Best of Austin Critics Poll
Best R&B Dream Come True: KAZI 88.7FM
KAZI started as the dream of University of Texas professor Dr. John Warfield 26 years ago. Austin's oldest community radio station thrives under the guidance of Steve Savage, with a small staff and a team of volunteers who keep jazz, hip-hop, reggae, and gospel music alive and well in the ATX, digging deeper than your average commercial playlist: Where else do Raphael Saadiq, Estelle, Angie Stone, Sam Cooke, A Tribe Called Quest, and Honeybrowne share the air? KAZI also keeps us plugged into the real world with independent news via Democracy Now!, and it broadcasts Austin City Council meetings, making local goings-on accessible to us all. www.kazifm.org
