You can play this for your children and your great Grands (if you still got them). Grand grooves played to set the temperature to where life was warming up during Mr. Buffett’s coming-of-age years. I was in awe of and deeply respectful to all of the wise men and women at the party. They all represented one form or another of making it far while influencing wide. Gigs like this, for me, are just as fun as any other. As a music addict, I get to feed that crave. As an open minded music addict, a set like this expands my horizons. Putting it all together live for everyone’s enjoyment is the thrill because I improvise – which means that I prepared a playlist of 300+ songs (47 in the set) and other than 1 song that I knew I’d play for sure, I chose each song based on what I’m seeing and feeling. Perception, awareness, flexibility (because the pool of music that I had was so large that I could’ve done this party 5 times 5 different ways) sense of timing and willingness to take (thoughtful) risks (keeping in mind the idea that risks can reap rewards). I aim for impressed praise with the impression being that I put time and my mind into my aspect of the overall presentation. The 1 song I knew I’d play, Somewhere Over the Rainbow, has been sung by Mr. Buffett himself and the song is featured in the documentary. Peek into my brain processor to see how I found tone: Somewhere Over The Rainbow Over color Somewhere over color Via the colorful (creativity) in any person, I hear their heart Heartfelt harmonies is like audible inner joy I can see their smile when they sing Instrumentalist’s imaginative intelligence color my insight with warmth Togetherness Somewhere over color Spirit? Somewhere Over the Rainbow I love my job because I spend most of my time listening to and looking for the best in people. One way or another, I share what I compile and I feel like I’ve done a little good. Enjoy! (continued)
