On a quiet August afternoon, I was once an ambient music DJ. A group of massage therapists (and I as the aural relaxer) took part in a “massage-a-thon” to help raise funds for our friend Lyena Strelkoff. She had become paralyzed after a hiking accident, and the proceeds we raised went to help pay for her enormous medical bills.
I brought in a sound system, a turntable, cd player, and a pile of vinyl albums and cds and got to spin some of my favorite ambient music. I made a list as I went along.
