Captain's Log: From The Desk Of Capt. Holly: The First Annual Birthday Bash!

Ahoy Ship Mateys!

Well, let's see here...once again I am super late with these postings. Sorry! Anywhoo, I'd like to thank all of my vibrant, happy Ship Mates for joining me yesterday, and to those who continue to join me through the uploads and whatnot, big ups to you cool cats! We had a lot of great music didn't we? Speaking of, I guess the cat's out of the bag now...that elusive "friend" of mine called Scott Hammet is more than just a friend...He shares half of his DNA with me...Yes folks he's none other than my dad! I only carried on for as long as I did at his request, I'm really quite proud to be related to him. ^_^ To those of you who sent so many caring and kind messages about his music, many thanks...he was absolutely floored. I hope to bring you more original stuff in the future.

Then there were my headliners: Scott Erickson, Circe Link, Bluebell, The Who, The Monkees, Joni Mitchell, Lady and The Lost Boys and more! Weren't they incredible! I'll be posting info about them in just a second.

Let me just say, that both Scott and I are extremely pleased with the warm reception he was given, and I'm hoping to help his star rise to that end.

Circe Link, "The Angel of Los Angeles"! She is fantastic. She has fast become my sister in music and I thank her for all the wonderful music she's making and for all her kindness to her fair captain, yours truly. And of course, I can't mention her without thanking Crew Member Christy Jeffcoat, who sent her my way in the first place!

Bluebell is a staple with the song "Normal Heights". Here's why: As a DJ with WUSC, I learned how to have an appreciation for new music. This one hits me like the waves Annabel sings about. Her haunting vocals tend to make me feel as if I'm floating weightless in the ocean. It was written about a place in California called Normal Heights, where she was vacationing. In fact, here's what she said in an interview that was brought to my attention: ‘Normal Heights’ is about a guy I know from California. The song is about his life and a time when it crossed paths with mine. I made the video myself with footage and photographs from his website, he does this candid camera stuff that is, in my opinion, brilliant...."

So there you have it folks, the reason why I play this tune and will until I see more from her...and that just adds to my fun ^_^

Lady & The Lost Boys was Annabel's other musical venture, and I chose to play them because to me they have this really rich, colorful sound that I find absolutely beautiful.

Alright, so now let's get down to brass tacks! Here's the playlist in all it's glory! Grab it and Grow!
