First of all the day before the show I selected 83 songs I wanted to play. I had to make sure they were clean versions. I never realized how many songs I had with cussing until now,lol. Narrowed it down to 53 that night and the morning of the show finally got it down to 35 songs. I ended up only being able to play 21 of those.

I arrived at the studio about 15 minutes before the show started. Bobby lead me into the studio and I asked how we should do this (I had the songs on 2 CD's I burned). True to his laid back form he said "we will do it however you want to do it." That set the tone and he did his set up in the studio. I have to say I was completely fascinated watching him do whatever he was doing with the sound system, the boards. During the whole show he did not miss 1 beat, 1 cue, 1 segue, not a thing. It ran so smoothly. He's a true professional and a nice guy to boot.

I told him what order I wanted the songs in and the show started. Ohsokool's radio drop was cued and segued right into the George Clinton song. I was feeling that song and we were both bobbin' our heads. We have been pretty comfortable with each other since meeting at the Dwele concert so it was just real chill in the studio, just like I was at home. The song was about to end and he said we would get on the mic then. I put on the headphones and right at that moment, I got butterflies. Dag, can yall believe that? I really was pretty relaxed before that point (or so I thought). To me my voice sounded a little shaky but I was good after that first segment. I guess I had to make sure the mic didn't bite or something, lol. Butterflies gone after that. By the time we got to the second hour I felt like I had been doing this all my life.

I met some really cool people like Kasey, another DJ from the SOS radio show. Even though she didn't like the Dwele show a few weeks back I still liked her very much, lol. Next came Craig who is a friend of Bobby's and a writer for the Houston Press. Cool guy. He's interviewed alot of great folks and had a bag full of old LP's that was drool worthy. He's the guy Bobby introduced on air about 45 minutes into the show. He was kinda offbeat (as you could tell). During Raheem Devaughn's song he started doing this little dance and I asked if I should move my chair over because he was really feeling that song, lol. He said it made him feel all moist so that's where that came in if you hear that at the end of the show.

During some of the songs he was telling me all these stories about Bobby back in the day. Funny stuff. During the whole show it was just so much fun. It was like sitting around in your house shooting the breeze, laughing and talkin ish with your friends (with some good music playing in the background). I hope you enjoy the show, I know I did.
