NO ROOM FOR SQUARES SESSION 80, WITH VINTAGE VINYL, JAZZORIZIT ?-
LISTEN TO THE RECORDED SESSION ON MIXCLOUD-JIM B. DONOVAN.
MUCH AS EXPECTED, DUE TO THE TIME OF YEAR, THERE WAS SOME ROOM FOR SQUARES OR INDEED ANYONE ELSE! HOWEVER THE SESSION SEEMED TO GO VERY WELL WITH SEVERAL NEW FACES JOINING , AND HOPEFULLY ENJOYING, THE NIGHT. I STARTED WITH A "WINTER" FEEL TO THE MUSIC, THEN AS USUAL JUST WINGED IT. I AM FINDING IT EASIER TO COPE WITH PUTTING ON TUNES, CREATING THE PLAYLIST, CHECKING THE RECORDING LEVELS, DIGGING OUT TUNES, AND BEING ABLE TO CHAT TO MOST OF THOSE ATTENDING. IT SOMETIMES MEANS MY "CONCENTRATION" FAILS A LITTLE, BUT IT ADDS TO THE VIBE. PLENTY OF TUNES NEW TO THE NIGHT, AND A LITTLE CHAT FROM ME, WHICH I HOPE DOES NOT SPOIL THE FLOW.
