SUNDAY'S FORECAST 5/25/09

Unfortunately, this past weekend was pretty muggy and wet. Although I was able to dj four days straight, the weather made it a little hard to bare the long hours. Anyway, here is this week's forecast.

Enjoy!!!!

JIM RUSSELL RECORD STORE (NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA)

DEEP IN THE HEART OF NEW ORLEANS LIES A STAPLE IN THE MUSICAL TAPESTRY OF THE CITY: JIM RUSSELL RECORD STORE. IN BUSINESS FOR OVER 40 YEARS, JIM RUSSEL HAS SEEN THE LIKES OF ERYKAH BADU, DR. JOHN, EDDIE BO, LIL' WAYNE, DJ JUBILEE & MASTER P COME THROUGH AND PATRONIZE THE STORE. THE RELAXED ATMOSPHERE IS GREAT FOR MUSIC LOVERS THAT JUST WANT TO TAKE THEIR TIME AND PERUSE THE ENDLESS AMOUNT OF VINYL ON THE SHELVES.



UNFORTUNATELY, THE ECONOMY HAS TAKEN IT'S TOLL ON THE ONCE THRIVING STORE AND BILLS FROM HURRICANE DAMAGE HAVE FORCED THE STORE TO "TIGHTEN IT'S BELT". UPON MY VISIT TODAY TO THE FAMOUS MUSIQUARIUM, I TOOK THE TIME TO BUY SOME RECORDS AND CHAT WITH THE OPERATOR OF THE ESTABLISHMENT AND HER DAUGHTER. SHE EXPLAINED THAT BILLS AND LACK OF CUSTOMERS HAVE REALLY PUSHED THE STORE IN THE RED. SHE SAID THAT I WAS PROBABLY HER 3RD CUSTOMER OF THE DAY AND THAT IT WAS CUSTOMERS LIKE MYSELF THAT COME BY, BUT DON'T COME TOO OFTEN.



I APOLOGIZED BECAUSE I KNOW THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE DOWNLOADING AND BUYING THEIR MUSIC FROM OTHER OUTLETS...i,e..BEST BUY, WAL-MART OR EVEN ITUNES. NOBODY IS SUPPORTING THE MOM & POP STORES ANYMORE AND BECAUSE THE NUMBER OF TRUE MUSIC LOVERS IS DWINDLING, THESE STORES HAVE A HARD TIME TRYING TO COMPETE WITH THE MAJOR STORE CHAINS.



SO, I IMPLORE AND STRONGLY SUGGEST NUMBER ONE TO PLEASE SUPPORT MOM & POP STORES SO THAT THEY MAY CONTINUE TO THRIVE. ALSO, IF YOU ARE EVER IN THE NEW ORLEANS UPTOWN AREA ON MAGAZINE STREET, YOU NEED TO STOP BY JIM RUSSELL RECORD STORE AND GET YOU SOME GOOD CONVERSATION AND GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY!!!

SUNDAY'S FORECAST 5/3/09

Well, everyone....if you live in Atlanta then you know what this weekend was like. The forecast predicticted scattered showers and thunderstorms and on Friday afternoon, it seemed to be holding up. Then came Friday night's monsunal pour. At any rate, it was a great weekend for me as far as gigging. I had three gigs and they all went well in addition to other things. Attached is this week's forecast. Hopefully, this will get you through the week. Enjoy!!!
