VooDoo got Cowboy'd

Play/Download VooDoo Rodeo Ride

Hello, all my Bouncin' Beat Buddies,

It was with Great pleasure, this Sunday, not long ago, that I was the feature DJ at the Voodoo Lounge and serving it up for Babylon T Dance. I remember it well....it was the weekend of Florida's Gay Rodeo...and What a weekend. As I also spin every Thursday and Friday night....and this time of year here is Peak, High Season for tourists...And Gay Rodeo....so that everywhere we went....the bars were literally packed with cowboys...including where I am....so I Knew that Voodoo would be rocked....It was. (Mark it on your calendar for next year, the Rodeo is a HOOT)

I start at 4pm and on that day....as I was loading In...the fans were already pulling up by the car loads to hear how I come up...ok, prolly for the free drinks...(glance) Let me say here....I AM blessed with a Great, dedicated, sexy, music loving fan base. Mad respect goes out to each and every one of them. For enduring some of my "Journey's," Thank You.

This set, is the second set of the night....I call it a set, I record the entire night, but have to cut it up into CD length sets, about an hour - twenty minuets. So by this "Set" (beginning around 5:30)...I already had a dancefloor...which I kept, thank you Very much, till they put the sofas on the floor for the drag show at 11...and was well on the way to being a packed room....including Cowboys....which stayed with me right to the end of my set for the night....7 hours. Seems like it would be a long night, seven hours...but that DJ booth is So much fun to spin....so comfortable with great equipment and monitors....that the night seems to be over almost as fast as it starts. (Great side note)...A good friend, and fan, came up to the booth around 9pm(ish)...and said..."Herbie there is nobody on the patio Or the back (Latin) room...they are All on the dancefloor"....big smile, it was true.

Great energy all night long. So here...you have a "Taste" of how we serve up T dance, Herbicidal style. I mix up the beats....I talk to the crowd with the song lyrics..."You want to Touch Me"....(so subliminally, they talk to each other)...I throw in the obligatory Anthems....too many to play in one night, mind you....I give them anthems with a Twist....I Always keep the door to the booth Open...as I Love when people stop by to talk and grope....and it All feeds my energy ....so that I have Loads to Give back. So there you 'ave it. I Hope you "Feel IT".....Like I did. And I Hope that I get to "give It" on a floor near You...Very soon.

Till then....Keep your heads to the sky....Spread some Love, 'cuz that's how you Get Some....Lovin'.
And, while we're on it....send some to your mom and dad....they won't be here for ever....and on that note....send some to your friends too....so they know who they are. We're All Connected....by Love and Music.

Love all around,
Herbie
