Melody Reunion: A Month to Go, Start Stretching Now
There's only a month to go until the 2009 Melody Reunion Party at the Elk's in New Brunswick. I am very excited about getting the old gang back together, and I expect and even bigger crowd than last year.
Make sure you start limbering up now, so you don't pull anything during the event. If you haven't been out dancing in a decade or so, you'll be glad you did. If you haven't been to one of the first two events, you will find that the level of energy and the intensity of the dancing has not diminished over twenty years. And my boots can still hurt alot if you aren't agile enough to get out of the way...
As most of you are now aware, G106.3, the pretty good alt rock station that had risen from the ashes of FM106.3 has been executed and is now a satellite fed top 40 station. Now I have eight top 40 stations to choose from, thank goodness.
All former G106.3 jocks and staff are welcome to the reunion, regardless of age. So if you know any of them and can pass them the word, tell them we would love to have them at our event. I'll make sure Big John knows ahead of time to let G106.3 refugees in.
As for photos, it's getting time to send me any and all old Melody photos from 1992 and before right now. I will add them to the already significant slide show we put on at the event. Just email them to sbiceptz@verizon.net and they will be in the show.
If anyone has or knows of any video or film shot in the Melody from before 1993, that would really be a special treat. During my years there I witnessed several people recording video and filming. Please track down that film!
To all the guest DJ's and you know who you are, start thinking about your play lists. Keep in mind the music must be authentic Melody music from the begining up to 1992, not just music from that time. And we want to make sure we don't just keep playing the same hits from the previous events. I recommend you contact Sean Carolan, he has the playlists from both of the last two events.
I am putting together my "must play for Stiffy" list of ten tracks, and I've come up with a few new ones that have been overlooked in the first two reunions. Of course there will be a few core songs that will likely be played at every event, but that's OK too. You can be sure I'll have U.G.L.Y by PWEI and Fuck Everyone by Everlast played at every event forever, because they are two of my all time favorite Melody songs, and they are so much fun to dance to.
And remember, the Hyatt has rooms reserved for us at 99$, so why not crash there instead of driving home? I bet there will be an after party again like last year. Just call the Hyatt in New Brunswick and ask for the Melody Reunion rate.
