A good friend of mine used to spin lounge at a club or two in Minneapolis a few years ago. That went by "For Lovers Only." He did a weekly radio (cable) show too. Then there was Vic Volare who had a thing going too.

It was good to have the chance to spin the old records, but he said noone dressed lounge, even at his lounge night at the club. He was pretty suprised when he came to Atlanta and found people coming out to MJQ and dressing lounge and playing lounge.

From what I understand, King Kini got tired of spending much effort on Club Velvet without a lot of interest and return enthusiasm. I can understand that.

We have long wanted to do a DJ gig here in Knoxville. Our biggest problem is that the places we know we could play are beer bars or more dives and we want a more upscale liquor bar. We still hold out hope. But we also realize we can't expect others to fuel our interest. They are actually going to drain us. If you want to spend the energy to do something like that, you have to get the real energy from yourself.

Thus my Internet Radio broadcast. It's great to have listeners, but really, I do it because I enjoy the music and listen myself. If I tried to do it to please someone else, I'd be over it real quick.
