Quietness, Christmas and Scratchin' plastic
Posted on
Hi there. Sorry been a bit quiet lately. I've been enjoying the calm before the storm and sitting back on my flippin' gorgeous sofa with flippin' gorgeous Becky just reading, watching films etc. riding out the dry month of November and I'm not talking weather. My busiest year ever and it all goes to nothing in firework month. Well I'm not complaining. I rarely get much time off in my life so I'm not going to waste it by feeling insecure! Besides, December is busy now, although Thursdays are still available as I type this, so think on if you haven't booked your Christmas get together yet. Sorry to Jane who I couldn't help the other week. I hate it when I can't help a regular customer because they've left it a bit late and I'm already booked. Sometimes I can move heaven and earth for them but if I can't, who's to say they might stick with the next guy? I'm pretty damn good at what I do but I'm not the only one so I've seen a few nice faces disappear before now.
Oh well, not long now and everyone will be putting their 'decs up and we may even get snow again. Last year I was playing at the Ship hotel Chichester near to Christmas eve and as I looked out the window I saw the heavy flakes falling and announced it to the crowd. It's a good job it wasn't a boat, as they all rushed the window to see, proving beyond all doubt that when it comes to snow and Christmas, most people are as bigger kid as me. I still recall the warm festive feeling as I headed down a snow filled A27 after the last gig before the big day. Mmmm.....pass me a mince pie and cream with a brandy on the side and Christmas pudding and Cornish ice cream to follow...
Well I'll leave you with a peek into the future of Deejaying ie: with a flat panel and touch screen. I knew it'd be here one day but I couldn't have told you how soon. Now all they need to do is make it professional size...
Have a great weekend and see you soon,
Mike.
