THE TRIP, WITH VINTAGE VINYL AT MILK (PREVIOUSLY THE AFROBA)-SESSION 83, PLAYLIST AND JIM’S RAMBLINGS. MORE AT www,jimz.biz , click on Jimz Playlists. NEXT SESSION 31st MARCH
I am beginning at long last to realise where the “plot” is with this evening especially, as musically it is quite diverse. What I seem to do is to approach the sessions with a great deal of order, with far too many tunes with me, and all the other bits and pieces in place. I start with some order (the first five tunes although not pre-empted beforehand-apart from the fifth one-just jumped out at me from the boxes as the theme was to convey a “return”, to play “my music”, to get in a tune with trip in the title, to focus on the vintage element-“time machine”, and finally to name check the new bar name). Then we moved straight into a request to play as much music from Tom Middletons Trip, 3 vinyl compilation, which I did. After loads of those, on go a few mellow classics, while I wait for other requests, like Peter Nice, Gangstarr, De La Soul, and slip in a “theme”, Barbara Thompson. Then the bar gets rammed and on goes Roller Skating Jam, and the evening stays pretty much “up”, until I try to clear the bar playing “corny” tunes. The state of my tunes filing by now is chaotic, but we get there.
Me talking. Well the jury is still out on this one. One of my old mixers did not pick up on my chat, so playback ran as a continuous music tape. However the one we are now using does pick me up, and I deliberately went a little over the top to test it. In spite of issuing a two sided newsletter on the night, sometimes a little bit of chat also helps!-Let’s see how it pans out. It was great yet again to meet someone who used to come to my kids discos in twyford in the 80’s, and be warned I always have some of the tunes from that period with me, but basically gave up the mobile to concentrate on less top 40!, here, but if you talk nicely to me!
The hardened veterans to this night will have noticed I only had about 8 lp cases with me, instead of about twice that amount. This is me trying to be more disciplined, but also using more compilations therefore, and had nothing to do with my car playing up!
The next session is on MARCH 31st, and an interesting one. Normally in the past I have had to put the march session back a week later into april, as I attend the memorabilia fair at the NEC each year, at the end of march. However this year because my equipment is no longer needed by the bar, and is set up for us by Tim, the Mighty AC is going to do the evening for me, so be gentle with him! In turn I am undertaking his night TRACKS and GROOVES here two nights earlier.
Finally, just a big thanks to Tim for taking the bar within a very short space of time to a whole new level, and this is only the start. He is brimming with ideas for the future, and deserves a medal for rescuing the bar from extinction! As such after 9 years here I am so glad I hung on. Hopefully if he has the time this session will get played back during march.
As usual, please join the MILK READING facebook group, or link up with me JIM B. DONOVAN on facebook. The playlists for this and all the other nights I am involved in are at www.jimz.biz , just click on jimz playlists/BCNU Hopefully-Jim

PLAYLISTS at www.jimz.biz click on jimz playlists, 60’s Soul Time, and on facebook-60’s soul time………..
Well we slipped into the middle night of the afrobas closing party, with nothing but sixties vintage sevens, as the nights either side of us were riddled with cd’s and laptops!!! Well over one hundred tunes got on, and the 60’s club scene sounds bounced off the walls of the oldest commercial building in reading. Next month however, because we would like a little more dancefloor space, we try the session at the COPA, details above. Look forward to seeing you hopefully-Martin/Brian/Jim………..
