Hey Music Editor: visited the music section today here and saw your request to tell you all about what my music talents are and from the subject of my email, you guessed it, I am a DJ. Was. Is. Am. Again soon.

In June, my motherboard burned from a short and being fooled with by "geeks", myself and other friends. It was an Acer Aspire Duo Core Athlon and after running a year and some more with XP in the winter of early 2008, I installed VISTA.

For hobbyist entertainment, I was using a freeware mixer on XP called T-Player. It is often associated with Shoutcast and Winamp technologies. It is a basic 2-Channel mixer that does no beat matching or bpm readings so to make credible recorded and extended remixes, re-engineer a song's production using 2 or 4 channels [mult iple instances can run simultaenously on desktop] one has to be a trained hearing DJ.

O late last year, I discovered the power pack of VIRTUAL DJ Pro version 5 and downloaded it for free and was inspired beyond words.

In the later 1980s, in Modesto, CA and usually going out to it's only gay bar to dance on weekends there were several weekends of disappointing music so I said to the owner, "what's this, I could do better." See a dj friend and ex-lover was teaching me the art of technics turntablism. So the owner said be there on Thursday for the next few weeks and until 1991, became the resident weekend DJ.

This year, I have really offered some of my best recordings to podomatic.com account and have gained the respect of many djs as well as joining every new and sustained dj social network on the web. I invested in software twice at $50.00 a pop to get subscription access to webcam audio/video enable chat rooms at camfrog.com and Icuii.com. There are some great ways to also dj in yahoo chat rooms, userplane has a great FLASH interface with the best playback for audio/video. Joined ustream.tv and downloaded from a RUSSIAN, freeware that records your desktop in realtime and motion combined with a webcam shot inset so the ustream.tv broadcast becomes an experience for viewers to see the VIRTUAL DJ Pro in action as software while the webcam focused on the intensity of my concentration to spin a good 20 - 60 minutes set of music.

Well, since my motherboard has crashed and am using an old edition of a Dell with XP PRO it is just not able to run any thing musically at this point even a desktop player like winamp and windows media player are crashing constantly.

Just this year, as the breakthrough of what is being called "bedroom djs" broadcasting audio and some implementing video cams etc., well, dead in the water, at the moment until December when a grant will allow me to buy a new computer.

Much of the layout that was months of practice with all the 'turned on' applications to broadcast a live stream and were perfected on XP Windows did not run well for many months on VISTA. Was just getting back to it and the kinks worked out when motherboard died.

For your entertainment, I am submitting now my last LIVE broadcast before the crash. I hope you enjoy and will be back in the new year 2009.
