My Little DJ's
During this summer some time, we were over at our friends Troy and Jamie's house visiting with just the two youngest with us. Troy as always was playing records on his turntables throughout the night. My boys were incredibly interested in them and kept hovering really close. Finally after a while Troy decided to show them what it was all about and teach them what each knob and button does.

Everyone was talking about how cool it was that they were interested in playing the turntables and how we should get them a set to play with and learn on. Troy reminded me that my brother Jake had his brothers first turn table set and that I should ask him if he is going to use them. So I ended up talking to my brother and he told me that the tables were just collecting dust in the basement. So he brought them to work the next day. Now all they needed was a mixer and something to run the sound through. That night Troy brought over the mixer that originally came with those turn tables, and I remembered that I had some old equipment that I used to use as a small PA system when I did solo gigs years ago. So we set it up!!!

The only problem is that the only hand me down records were a bunch of really old records that I was sure my kids wouldn't be into. But Sabien found a record that has a really good funk theme to it and said this one is my favorite.. Sure enough, it wasn't too bad. I think he just might have the ear to do well..
So from now and then I will be in my computer room and I will hear some old 70's funk with some Roy Orbison being scratched over top of it... Oh the proud moments of a Father/Musician!
