Students, Aficionados, Practitioners, and Party People Everywhere - Lend me your ears!

Welcome to Boomer School!

You are about to embark on a comprehensive, harmonically mixed, wide-ranging and rigorous journey, comprised of three gloriously distinct paths, designed and curated to provide a well-rounded and thoroughly researched education spanning centuries of classics and classic artists, beginning with Wolfgang, the original Rock Star. Some of these chapters have been reimagined by Burning Man influences; certainly there are plenty of surprises including, but not limited to, oodles of retro glamour. 

But much of what you are about to experience may or may not have been within your infinite sphere of expanding consciousness. Thus, young or - and especially if you’re of a certain vintage - your memories and feelings are sure to either be tickled and refreshed, or created anew upon completion of these three, two and a half hour sessions. [Please note that Curriculo runs a tad late. Extra credit will be assigned to any survivors.]

A quick glance at each chapter will certainly reveal the challenging work ahead of you. I mean, seriously - just look at this lineup! Certainly this school cannot be all things to everybody, but it comes pretty damn close. So saddle up, be prepared and all will be well. Trust where your ears lead and your feet will follow. The groove is the only guide you’ll require. Make your pledge to the funk, the whole funk, and nothing but the funk. Bang a gong my brothers and sisters, and get it on. The rhythms will take you higher, and there are numerous opportunities where partnering will provide the best emotional response. Remember, elation is the name of the game, and ecstatic results are the goal!

I may be old, but I'm still WOKE AF! Unapologetically (iz too a wurd) party positive.

Shake Your Butte Auralville! I am creating a series of sets for this year's Burning Man 2024: Curiouser and Curiouser. The first you already know. The second, entitled "Pig And Pepper" continues the dream and the dance. The third, entitled "Wool And Water" will be released on July 9th (which happens to be my birthday - 68 times around the sun!)

And be sure to Dance and Dream On with TRANZDREAMTIMEZ. Always a Free desktop download mes amis!

I was forced to hide who I was for 33 years. Fear will consume you, unless you face it. Face it clearly, openly and visibly, with courage and conviction. Do yourself the honor and privilege of living your life with dignity and grace. It's hard. It's difficult. It's messy. It's dangerous. But everyone owes it to themselves to be themselves. Declare your existence. You matter. I matter. Continue the fight for equal protection and justice under the law. You are not alone. The waiting is over. The time is now.

====

A dear friend told me my sets felt like you never knew where you're going, but were always happy when you got there. As a Groove Guardian, I could not ask for higher praise.

Music is a special language I have experienced, practiced and absorbed my entire life. And now in my "Golden Years", I practice this complex craft using the simplest of tools and as little FX as possible. Less is so much more. I avoid artificially contrived tension and release, and prefer to let music express what is already inherent; if it works, don't fix it.

=====

My Dad was a Choir and Music Director. I grew up listening to him playing the piano every day. He started me singing at age 7 (1963). By 1968, I was collecting first-issue releases from the Turtles and the Beatles. I graduated High School in 1974, and  was programming house party mix tapes on cassette tape. Of course it was very linear, but even then I was thinking outside the box. With the advent of DAW’s, it’s a whole new world!

Today, it’s about inspiring and uplifting people through music's universal language. It’s about feelings and passion using an eclectic mix of genres and styles, new, old, obscure and popular. I want to set free your heart, your mind and your body. Burning Man and Sweets Ballroom have irrevocably altered my musical DNA. The new, expanding universe of Ecstatic Dance journeys feels like a natural fit, and I incorporate its tenants into every set I create.
