Friends, fans, patrons and dancers:
Last year was eye-opening for all of us, but I have experienced some interestingly positive effects despite COVID:
My departure from Renegades wasn’t on my terms, but occurred at a perfect time (in retrospect) to refocus on my core occupation before the pandemic hit us all. It was a “backhanded blessing” that I had finished that refocus before February of 2020, and that law practices were considered “essential businesses.” That made my management of those essential businesses essential as well. I have had enough work to "stay afloat" during the pandemic. Many have not been so fortunate.
While I miss being your DJ, any return to my avocation has to be on new terms - ones that do not affect the livelihoods of those who perform or serve as their primary job.
Until that time comes again, remember that you are missed and that being your DJ and host was the most fun job ever!!!
