2009November MLFM: Twilight Edition

Something about discovering music you have had for 5, 10, 15 years. It's funny when you do podcasts and just when you think you have hit a wall you come across music that make you realize the reason you fell in love music and why you wish to share it the world. It's been two weeks since I have produced a podcast. Some of comes from my work schedule...a lot comes from my work schedule. I try not to complain about certain things but the past couple of months work wise I can't lie is kinda getting under my skin...it has gotten to a point where I have fallen away from my passion...music. But that is the time when you have to force yourself get back on the horse and make yourself do what you love, what you are good at...sharing great music with the masses.

This collection of tunes is coming straight from my library and it's a eclectic array of music...from the Japanese jazz group T-Square to the Rockabilly voice of Chris Issak to one of my old R&B tune by Tyrone Davis. It was hard to put together the music but when I set back and listened to the tunes and arranged them the only thing I could do was smile. It doesn't take much to please me and while listening to the playback of these tunes before the final recording it's coming to my attention that it's time for me to stop being afraid and truly seek what God has put me on earth to do because to do anything else I am only making myself miserable and I I don't want to have regrets because that's a terrible place to be in life. One thing I know about music for me that no matter what I'm going through it brings me back to where I need to be in life.

Be Blessed, Be Safe,
& Have a Wonderful Weekend/Work Week
