Your humble DJ is just a bit camera shy, so pics of me are few and far between. But by happy coincidence, this shot gives you an idea of what I look like. A few months ago, I consented to a rare portrait session under threat of being unable to renew my driver’s license. Turns out that the state had a digital collection of my ID photos going back 10 years. Use one of those next time – I’m aging gracefully!
A new study states that strong relations can help you live longer. According to researchers, having few social contacts can be as harmful as heavy drinking and smoking. Is there a cigarette behind the abstract camera above? Or a hermit’s scowl? What is the difference?
This fine program is chocked full of swell music to make new friends by. Dreamy long tracks from Miles and Ornette for those long, cozy chats. All topped off by Mr. Bobby Rydell swingin’ live on the Vegas strip in ’66. Yeah, baby!
