The Final Farewell to Friends

We all Need to say goodbye. Weather it is to a place, a person, or a time.  Seasons begin and end all the time.  Just as new stories in our life begin each day, they all have a conclusion.  We Mush learn how to recognize these endings and accept them for what they represent.  An Ending sure but also a new beginning to another adventure. Let this Mix take you on an adventure of uncertainty,  but while there is an unforeseeable future there is peace.   Listen and say your goodbyes.

It is so easy to get Caught in what some would say a loop, the workman's week,  repetition with no end in sight.  we all feel like this from time to time. Like the world is coming crashing down upon you and only you.  When we have nothing to day and feel so bad about that fact. When we are so busy and cannot find the place to start. when we are afraid to even Start.  we feel the weight of the world on our shoulders...

That it not the case though. :)

"3 Hours of Sleep"

"3 Hours of Sleep" will be the first mix I play over the radio.  I am truly excited for this.  But what is it about?  well let me tell you...

Then we try to sleep.

This is where this music comes into play.  When you are lying there in your bed alone or with a loved one and you just cannot turn your mind off.  It keeps on going thinking about possible outcomes what to do and how to do it.  You try to sleep but you can't. and even if you do get to sleep.  it wont last long and you will feel no more rested then the day before.  it feels like you have been asleep for hours tossing and turning you just want it to be day so you can get up and do some work but you look and what felt like 6 hours of stress and thinking; was only 5 minutes.  Let the Music Soothe you into a feeling of comfort, a feeling of security.  Let them lead you to a place that is safe, in a time where we are not.  It's time to relearn how to deal.


So why Do I Mix?

Opening: Why We Mix

I have been making mixed for about 3 years now and well why not start off with a little history lesson.  the Mixed tape;  a collection of songs that a single person feels will have an affect on a person and will open them up.  a mix has many uses;  Love, loss, yearning, sadness, happy, working out,  sleeping. the list can go on and on.   A Mix give the power of music to the individual who may not be able to create or make music but gives them a chance at making something beautiful.  I wanted people to hear the art of the mix and what can inspire people to do that. and If I am Lucky maybe one person will want to mix after hearing them.

  Each Week I have a radio show.  the week prior I will be searching for something to mix about.  Depending what is happening in my life will change the mood of the mix.  then Monday Morning (PST) they will be played live on air at KWVA 88.1.  following their on air performance they will be posted to 8tracks. 


So now starts the adventure part.
