My mix history Pt. 3. In the 2000’s and beyond I expanded my mix making into social media and the sharing of mixes with like-minded mixers. I always shared my mixes among family and friends as gifts since the early 80’s but the online world radically changed things. I had actually been part of several online groups discussing music and mix making going back to the early 2000’s. It was great sharing music with so many people and I certainly learned a lot about many bands and artists I was unaware of or may have overlooked over the years. At this time I was also spending a lot of time creating CD cases with special software using images and text for my mixes. I really enjoyed making those cases which now take up the shelves of a couple of bookcases. Some of those groups were Art of the Mix, the Splitters, MixCloud, Zen Running Order, Mix Tapes to Go and probably a few others. It's been a lot of fun and have met a lot of great people over the years through this mix making obsession. Pt. 4 will be the retirement years and the mega mix.
reflections, ruminations, ramblings and rants on music, books, beer, politics, technology, media, family, etc, etc. from a retired old man, music collector, librarian, political observer, technology geek, veteran, history buff, beer enthusiast, sci-fi fan, obsessive mixtaper and former DJ. I've also gathered writings from the past several years posted in various social media platforms. This blog has become an editing tool for my writings and everything here is a work in progress.
