23: Grindstone Cowboy
Yo, it’s Andy // DJ Mr. Mom! How you doin’? I’m light as a feather because the summer is (mostly) over and the girls are back in school, which means that I can look forward to a little time to myself in the coming weeks.
⁂
I subbed for a late night show last week, and I was planning to play a bunch of Rapsody, Missy Elliott, & Little Brother to celebrate the old heads. It mostly worked until the last half hour or so of the show, when the surge protector that powered the DJ mixer & phono preamps tripped. Boy, you haven’t seen me freak out until you’ve witnessed me trying to DJ without turntables at 2 in the morning.
