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.
