It's hard to reinvent Christmas every year since the very nature of the holiday is tradition (if it ain't broke, don't fix it). Sure, the songs are classic and timeless, we've been listening to them since our childhood and they have sentimental value. My nature requires that I spend a fair amount of time outside the box, thus this mix. Taking the familiar and combining it with some unfamiliar keeps things interesting, and then slammin' it all together 'in the mix' takes it up a notch. Kinda like seeing the wrapped beautifully wrapped gift....anticipation building of what's inside. Well, wait no longer...press PLAY!MERRY CHRISTMAS and ENJOY THE MIX!Oh Come Let Us Adore Him Terence YoungIntro Reggie TheJazzmanUkrainian Bell Carol Seven 2 OneSilver Bells D-LuccaSimply Havin' a Wonderful Christmas Time Marty QJingle Bells MartyDeck the Halls / Silent Night Whitney HoustonWe 3 Stringz (Album Edit) [feat.

This gospel mix takes you to church from start to finish. This is the prelude to Sunday's Gospel Brunch The 'REAL' Soul Food and the inspiration for that series. Modeled after a Sunday morning church service, the only thing missing here is the collection plate. I've mixed quite a few but this one, for me, is still THE ONE.

God's Blessings To You!

ENJOY!!

Technology.....sometime it gets the best of us and it seems like its always the wrong time. While trying to get this show completed I lost my ability to record my vocals so missing on this show is quite a few of my qups but I managed to get a few in there. Usually I announce the artists/songs that you here but you'll have to check the playlist to get that info.

Now, I've got some troubleshooting to do. In the meantime, ENJOY THE SHOW!!

Every once in a while, I just want to do something different and completely out of the box. A totally different sound or style of music does just the trick, thus this mix of electro swing. It's just fun music.

I remember it wasn't too long ago that the craze was sweeping the land. Dance studios were making money teaching folks how to groove to this and then the craze just stopped suddenly, I mean, Crashed.....HARD!

Well, let's Throw It Back on THROWBACK THURSDAY!

ENJOY!
