Respect For Raji Sohal (2011)

Ideally, I wish to reach the point where I don't need to post a song I play during The Suite Delight radio show on Facebook & Twitter. 

I wish to reach the point where people know to tune in to the show every weekend and check my playlists at the end of the program or on the blog. However, without said posting of The Suite Delight playlists, this wouldn’t be read now.

Faced with some of the limitations of my present circumstances, I have spent the last few years in the lab working on formulas to bring me closer to the masses.

Then one day, it happened.

I checked to see the magic words from one Raji Sohal on Twitter that almost turned my life upside down. I couldn’t believe it. Someone I don’t know not only stated I had good musical taste but tweeted they would be listening to my show in the near future. What more could I have asked for? My years-long quest finally bore fruit. That was undoubtedly the single best compliment I received for the year. 

For that and to Raji Sohal, I am grateful. Like The Little Drummer Boy, I brought songs to The Suite Delight radio program in celebration and to show my gratitude for her kind words.

Raji Sohal benefits from being the first to acknowledge The Suite Delight’s musical taste and has this playlist as a demonstration of my eternal thanks.

@djsolespin Playing @fourtet, Gil Scott-Heron, @miraclefortress , Delfonics, Bill Withers ?! Man, you know my taste. Thx for the playlist!
