Big weekend
Saturday I have two jobs. Andover Arts in the Park . . .an arts festival. I have been doing the music for this event for more than a decade. Lots of smooth jazz and pop. I am also doing a block party in Windham. I was referred by the person who hired me to do this year's Strawberry Festival in town.

I have been a mobile disc jockey for almost thirty years. My ex-wife came up with 'DJ with a Difference.' One of the primary differences is that I carry more than 100,000 songs in my digital library to every function. It is only in the last year or so that I have actually started to make a list of them. Every day I make an effort to catalog at least ten new songs. Sometimes the song is something I've had in my collection a long time and just haven't done before. Here are today's.
The Killers | Runaways |
Leona Lewis | Take a Bow |
The McDonald Sisters | McDonald Sisters' Prayer (Lord I Thank You) |
Joe Diffie | Prop Me up Beside the Jukebox (If I Die) |
Joe Diffie | John Deere Green |
Rick Springfield | Affair of the Heart |
Rick Springfield | Souls |
Little Eva | The Loco-Motion |
Lynyrd Skynyrd | The Needle and the Spoon |
The Whispers | Needle in a Haystack |
