Make sure to check out the Station 23 Radio profile. What is Station 23? Station 23 is the outlet to a musical journey where the destination is dependent upon the listener's desired state of mind. The pathway consists of numerous stops that will soothe, relax, comfort, and massage the eardrums. The journey may also invoke one to bob their head, move with cadence, and dance to the drummer's beat. The ride is adorned with visits to various cities such as Soul, Hip Hop (Old Skool and Organic), Funk (Old Skool and Contemporary/Deep), Latin Rhythms, Downtempo, Jazz, Breaks, Rare Grooves, Afrobeat, Blues, and much more.

My Interests

45 rpm funk and soul vinyl, music history, financial news, real estate, wine, Kahlua cigars.

I'd like to meet:

Sound Session is a Limited Liability Company (LLC) that focuses on music and other creative arts built upon the urban lifestyle foundation. Far too often, commercialization of the arts tends to saturate and liquify. As a result, the associated art is not represented in its purest form and becomes typecasted with certain lifestyle choices. For example, the mass population may associate the addition of oversized rims and sexual promiscuity with hip hop. In its unadulterated form, hip hop goes beyond these categorical subjects. Sound Session seeks to reimpart this knowlege and recultivate an appreciation of the arts via backwards compatibility: through the arts. The said task will be completed with microphones, turntables, and other instruments of creativity. Keep in mind, purveyors of commercialization may want to approach with discretion. As for those with open eyes, ears, and minds, prepare to enter Sound Session.

Job Security a Prehistoric Notion

As I await the start of a new work week, I can't help but think of the number of employees (many of who were former colleagues) who were laid off at my former employer.  I recall my father forewa...
