Fresh off his ACM Awards hosting duties, he's back with another "rockountry" project. Interesting to hear how he had to get creative with artistic alternatives. I think it turned out great. My fav tune - the 1st one. Great energy...

'Hot Stuff' was one of my favorite songs growing up and I had a lot of fun reworking it. Big thanks to @hichasestokes & @madelyncline for bringing this incredible video to life. Hopefully you guys like it as much as I do 🙏🏼

They started as the Jazziacs but the world knows them as Kool & the Gang. My favorite jam of theirs is 'Let The Music Take Your Mind."

This vision started 12 years ago and after dreaming more about it while in Long Island, we can now hear the result. 2 versions - both are great. I like the musicality of the full band version.

Safety Tips To Tell Your Guests In Advance
Good show last night. My favorite part was the lighting design. As usual, it was very effective and cues were spot on. I was watching for that. I want it all! I wonder how much they want for it...
It's still surprising to me how some performers aren't very good at talking on the mic when accepting/presenting an award - bad mic technique, uneven delivery, closed off body language, general awkwardness. Come on people.
Here's the winners...

Reggae legend Bob Marley was born today back in 1945. His band "The Wailers" quickly got fired for being more popular than the bands they were opening for! Reggae was also the 1st style of music to favor recorded music over live performances. Thanks for your music Bob - here's my favorite tune... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaGUr6wzyT8

It's National DJ Day! Cheers to all radio DJ's, club DJ's, and mobile DJ's. Keep spinnin' those good tunes. Having been all 3, I started out as a radio DJ back in '93 at WMLN while attending Curry College. I remember it well. This is a pic from 1 of my favorite events - the Special Olympics torch run a couple summers ago. Can't wait till live events are back...
In case you missed J Lo's NYE performance. She did a couple nice versions of some old hits. As you'd expect, her creative team designed it well for the space.
