This project is very special to me.  I was recently blessed with the honor of DJing an art show for one of my favorite painters, Oliana Afano.  She was showing a collection of musicians she loves, everything from Biggie to Bowie to Slash (my kinda gal.)The event was July 9th, the Saturday after 2 more police shootings of innocent men AND the subsequent deaths of 8 cops in Dallas.  Needless to say, it was a tragic and difficult week.  I wasn't sure if I was capable of being cheerful or even professional during this sad time, but of course I was going to try.  Surrounded by her bold, inspired painting, as her beautiful, eclectic friends started to pour in, I felt true healing.  The images, the sounds, the friendly nods permeated the landscape that night and set a tone of love, appreciation, and acceptance.  I left that night feeling like I was floating. Feeling hopeful for our nation and the planet.  Just when you feel like what you do doesn't matter, the universe gives you a night like this, and by some stroke of grace, you actually remember to press the red button and record it.  I also dropped in some words of wisdom from the some of the artists that inspire me.  I hope you enjoy!

I want to send a special thank you to Lana, the artist, Lisa, her warm and lovely wife-ager, and A Frame Gallery in West Hollywood for hosting such a wonderful evening.
