This was a special visit. My brother Jeff came up to Sacramento from L.A. for a weekend visit. He prepared several themed sets of music, none of which I was privy to. To keep the element of surprise, he played the songs off of his phone, which was wired into the radio board via a 10 foot cable, giving us some distance, and keeping his playlist from my prying eyes.
We kicked off the show with a couple of sets of music of my choice, then slammed into Jeff’s carefully curated music sets.
I’ll be frank with you: the suspense got pretty heavy, and we chain-ate nearly a whole pack of candy cigarettes (pictured below playlist). But we got through it, and had a whole lot of fun. Enjoy the show!
