Last post by clover-leaf-productions - February 08, 2022, 02:14:26 AMGreetings Dear Friends!
Please know I care about you all, and think of you often, hoping you stay well. I understand from some back-reading that Jeff stepped away from the forum, because it could create conflicts for his political aspirations. Now I am no politician, but I have similar constraints that control my electronic contacts, or friendships. I may not be able to write to you individually, but I can perhaps spread some news.
Little Anthony grew up into a fine adult, and graduated high school this past Spring. I do not believe he has any fascination in cherished tribal items from Oz any longer.
The eyes are just part of many old age health issues. Each one provides me a new adventure every day.
My friend refuses to let me out of the DJ business; not that we have had many gigs over the last two years. I keep telling him I can no longer do it, and he keeps dragging me along if we do have a gig; only now he does 90% of the setup, and tear down. I still dial in the EQ for the room, and set up the Yamaha board that he swears at, even though he knows it is the best board we have ever used.
Other than that I sit there behind my screen magg'ed Ots monitor, spinning those hits. My buddy is learning to run the mic, but he still sits back in awe when I get on mic, come alive, by nature, and suddenly inject the party crowd with that boost of fun they need to get their feet moving. I guess it is why he still drags me along.
SO much I would enjoy sharing, but such constrictions I live under. I can say this, it is getting harder to run Ots on Windows XP. The big play-out server is showing its age, and if I try to get new software for it, most things require at least Windows 7. It will be a sad day to have to part with the sweet internal M Audio expansion sound card.

Last post by milky - February 05, 2022, 11:26:22 AMHey, CLP. It is great to hear from you. I'd love to hear about these "career opportunities". I assume they are for the better, and, as a professional myself, I understand why you need to have no, or limited social media exposure.
I recall that you are vision impaired, so I hope that that has either improved or at least, not regressed.
I have just received my third PSA result since having my prostate removed, and they are all exactly the same - 0.04 - way better than 10+ before the operation.
Because of covid and other things, we didn't do my live-in bootcamp this January. However, I have done a lot of work via Zoom, and several of my proteges have posted their efforts online, resulting in many "likes".
How is Anthony doing? I Think of his question about Australia from time to time, and would love to know how he has blossomed into an adult. Please PM me if it is too personal.

As stated by many it is good to hear the regular cast of characters is still doing well. In terms of myself not being around, it is not necessarily by choice, or lack of caring about any of you. My life circumstances have changed due to some wonderful career opportunities, that have also forced me to restrict/curtail any type of public social media. So there is the major reason I have not been around.
As many have mentioned, as we get older our health continues to deteriorate, and I am no exception in that case. Like with others deterioration of health has forced some interesting life changes for me. Sometimes changes force us to become stronger people in other areas then we realized we could be. I can think of several friends here who might agree with that statement.
Of course since COVID the parties, and weddings have pretty much all dried up for our DJ business. We did have the opportunity this past year to do several outdoor car show events, which had been banned the year before. So it gave us a chance to get the gear out, and at least have some fun in the sun.
I make no promises, but I will try to be a better friend, and at least poke my head in from time to time to see how things are going around here. I wish you all the best, and to know that I think of you all often.

Last post by milky - January 06, 2022, 11:07:51 AMYou too, Tim. I'm guessing that your Xmas cast is over. What happens after that and before the next?
Always interested.
Some day soon, I will post images of my music camp. Covid has fkd our great, outdoor concerts, but we have adapted with zoom connections. Not the same, but I would love to do one of them, the way it was, before I shuffle off this mortal coil.
