I hope you are well?

If you are not feeling so bright and bubbly I think this mix will bring you some comfort and help you forget about those pressing issues that we all have to deal with.

In this third episode Holdin’ On is the title taken from the Champion Soul track which features midway in this mix. It appealed to me as it describes perfectly how I was feeling emotionally around the time but what kept coming back to me is that even though I felt alone sometimes I wasn't really all by myself, knowing from the Word that 'he'll never leave me or forsake me' and how ever mournful one can get privately, I understand that those tears I've cried in the past are being turned into tears of glorious joy. Along with a soul passion for the love of music and my faith the session came together with a sense of luminous colour and depths of shade thankfully conquered by the energy and feel good vibe of it all. I can't speak for anyone else but as a DJ I'm sure one’s emotions dictate the atmosphere when we're working – however professional a set one pulls it off. I hope all of mine gigs have left people with a good feeling.

Anyway, it was some months ago when I did this mix which has grown to become quite popular from the feedback I've had from cd's that I’d given out here and there, so I thought I distribute further a field. Naturally, the playlist is included for your convenience.
