On this night, I played a real tight first hour!  Everything was working fine – the webcam was up and on and I was streaming the show live on ReggaeMania.com and RMR.FM.  Topping off my good mood was the ‘breaking news’  from the night before…Busy Signal was released from jail – a free man and back in Yaad!

I was ready to tear up the second half of the show, when, at approximately 11:07 PM, I received a forty-five second warning that we were going to lose power – then, everything darkkk!  I quickly reached for a ReggaeMania mixed CD when I realized that the engineer had been able to continue broadcasting, in a seperate studio, courtesy of a back-up generator.  The music that was programmed for those few minutes (while switching studios) was not Reggae music.

Less than half an hour later, the power was restored.  My MAC victimized me again by taking five minutes to boot up.  On a postive note, I got a real feel for broadcasting from CHIN’s main studio – the mic sounded great – check 1!  I coasted through the rest of the show, dropped some Cham and Terminal’s new Wire Tap Riddim before calling it a night.  Enjoy!
