My dream of joining Jem and the Holograms quickly came to an end when I realized I'd have to dye my hair some wildly fluorescent colour. (I've had enough hair dye/cut mishaps that I knew I should proceed with caution). Forget the fact that Jem was a fictitious barbie with magical earrings, and also a cartoon. AHA did an excellent job of meshing the real life world with the sketch world...

 

I do still own several Jem tapes (they came with the barbies) - and remember rockin' out with my 'microphone' in the dining room - just waiting for things to start falling from all my jumping around. What can I say? I played to the (imaginary) crowd. Music has always been my thing.  I used to call in to radio stations to request songs - I once made my own radio dj mix tape. All I remember is singing Madonna 'Cherish' into the mini microphone attached to my boom box. Wow.... whatever happened to that tape, I'm not sure, and that's probably a good thing...

 

I love making my way into the boom studio in the afternoons. Seeing what's in store musically is like finding that forgotten mix tape that you loved.  And recorded. OFF the radio.  Good times!  It's so true that 'You don't work a day in your life when you love what you do.' That is definitely how I feel - and I hope that you're lucky enough to feel the same way about what you do every day.
