Whole Lotta Shaking Goin' On!

You may have heard on the news that, among other tremors, a magnitude 5.2 earthquake struck southern Illinois. We could feel this rude awakening here in Lafayette, Indiana. This was my first experience with an earthquake, and it is one that I would never like to repeat. The mechanical shaking, the rattling of items on shelves, the total lack of control I had over the situation…not fun. Fortunately, there was no damage here, and the DJ equipment is just fine. My thoughts go out to all those who live closer to the epicenter and endured damage and/or injuries.

"Paradise by the Dashboard Light"

This fun eight-and-a-half minute set from the first Bat Out of Hell album has been requested at some recent weddings that we DJ'd, and by folks who know the entire set by heart. This is one song they'll sing at the top of their lungs! I did not realize its popularity before, but I am pleasantly surprised because it is a fun song.
