"Absolutely! Music is basically my reason for living"

Music does get into my head for sure. At my restaurant I had I would play Slow Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin on rainy days and the place would move at a slower pace.

But On say Friday I would play 80s and even Disco up beat fun stuff, and wow the place really picked up.
Construction workers said they hated the disco but would pack the place on Fridays, Hummm.

So years later I worked at OSU and was forced to listen to rap type music and just crap.
The first day at one place I cut myself four times, the girl I worked with said "wow you never cut yourself"

That music was so negative, man the stuff they would say, the one DJ was talking about a 9 year old white girl that was bitten by a shark and he said "If you don't bite white you don't bite right"

Just listening to that show made me just angry, and heck they had like three different radios playing at the same time, loud, man I could not think.

Makes me think what is going on in yer head if that does not rattle you.

But then fights and murders that went on or were on TV, stuff that would horrify us was exciting, fun and even made these people laugh.

This is why I play happy and more upbeat stuff, even some of the Hawaiian type music can be too sleepy for me at a party.

If I had a tiki bar you would hear Thin Lizzy at least once a night.
