The Tree of Song (ToS) has received some upgrades! I ended up with | |
another wheeled base from an office chair to repurpose so I decided | |
to make another tree since I also had some spare fence poles. I | |
guess they should now be called Trees of Song since there are two of | |
them. | |
DJ Buttstuf had gifted me with his old Pioneer DJM-600 mixer during | |
his giveaways show! SO RAD, THANK YOU DJ BUTTSTUF!!! This arrived | |
last week and was securely packed to survive the shipping. It looks | |
like he took really good care of it. I've been messing around with | |
the different features and plugging it into various sources. I am | |
hesitant in adding the mixer to the ToS since it is such a nice unit | |
and I don't want it so exposed to the heat and dust in the garage. | |
For the meantime, I have been keeping it in a brief case and | |
connecting it to the tree during the tree sessions. I hope create | |
some music with it and learn some things about DJing. | |
