The trip@the afroba, with vintage vinyl, Session 52, 25/07/09, PLAYLIST and Ramblings with Jim.
Well after a whole month at my other gigs of playing nothing but endless mj it was a pleasure to return to the afroba and enjoy a virtual mj free evening, especially as at session 51, he also dominated the evening. Lets let him rest in peace now, and we will not pay tribute again until he passes away the next time! So mj may have been the theme last month, but this month we kept it newsworthy again with a “Moon/Space” theme running through the evening, due to the anniversary of the moon landing. Also for the first time I attempted to record some material for a future cd well into the evening, when the place was jumping, rather than early on when I can concentrate more as things are a little quieter. As such I did not want to do a full 75 minute mix, as we needed later mid evening to get some of our faves on, so I kept the “MOON-MIX”, 12 tracks to approx 45 minutes, and I will fill it out with another shorter 30 minute mix when we get it to cd. The evening which as usual got busy between 9.30 to 11.00 ( you really must come earlier and stay later ! ), embraced a lot of new “old” tunes, many requests, and some of our classics. This time there were no “accidents”-see the playlist for session 51-and we only produced one competition winner even though I did three. Thanks also to most of our regular regulars who seem to have the last Saturday firmly in their diaries ( diaries!, what are they ? ). Plus don’t forget the session gets played back during the week at the afroba, without my chat and this playlist on hand. The next session is our annual “Sod the Reading festival” night on AUGUST 29th. Be there or be somewhere else!!
bcnu maybe, Jim. ( MORE PLAYLISTS AT www.jimz.biz )
