Rock and Roll Riot – May, 2009 birthday edition

Last Saturday was a special night at The Cameron House. My monthly DJ night fell on May 30th, which was my wife Julie’s 40th birthday, so we had some friends along to celebrate the occasion. So, while this is another posting of my Rock and Roll Riot DJ setlist, it also marks a more significant evening. You only turn 40 once, and it’s wonderful to be in the company of friends. Thanks to everyone who came out to spend some time with the birthday girl, and I hope the musical accompaniment was enjoyable! I took a few blurry photos at the end of the night from my vantage point behind the DJ booth (see below), which somehow capture that late night atmosphere. Join me at The Cameron on Saturday, June 27th for the next round of Rock and Roll Riot.
