My Intro To Let You Know

For a little over a month now I've contemplated diving into the depths of the WPRK blogosphere.

During that time I spent too much money on overpriced drinks at Club Firestone while witnessing the live shows of Hank Williams III, Atmosphere and Solillaquists of Sound on the big stage. At least the ticket prices were fair. I've also been downloading music, burning CD's, and buying too many albums on the very day they've been released.

But did I mention I no longer have a job? Priorities can get screwed up the longer you sit around on your backside. But I've never been happier in all of my short existence.

Maybe it's the volunteer work I do every Wednesday morning that keeps things balanced. That's when, from 10 a.m.-12 noon on the campus of Rollins College, I blend the likes of hip-hop, rock, alternative, old school rhythm and blues, and any and every sound in between on the Tow Away Zone. Many times there are hidden messages attached. Other times just some good music to listen to.

It's not so much about the artists that make up the set list, as it's the songs themselves that deliver the goods.
