Hold Music Volume 4

Baby Yoda made another appearance for the artwork of an "Hold Music Mix."  In May and June of 2020 I was taking a lot of photos of Baby Yoda in so I ended up using some of the photos for my mixes.  This mix was thrown together in July.  There was a gap between volume 3 and volume 4 because I was working on the Halloween Mix for 2020 and a SAP Music Summer Mic.  By mid July I was back to the "Hold Music" series.

At this point in the summer, Covid fatigue was hitting the world and Black Lives Matters owned the headlines and riots were affecting cities across the country. So a lot of this music reflects some of the feelings and frustrations swirling at the time.  It serves as a nice time capsule of the summer of 2020..

Hold Music Volume 3

"On Hold Mix Volume 3" has a bunch of tracks from vinyl records I was listening to and digitizing May of 2020.  I remember listening to a lot of The Supremes and digitizing all of the records that I owned.  There are also a bunch of tracks from Jazz records that I was digitizing at the time. Ray Martin, Maynard Ferguson, Sonny Rollings, Tom Scott & L.A. Express, Grover Washington Jr. and Sergio Mendes were all artists whose albums I was listening to around that time.  The Paul Williams track is on here because I watched a Paul Williams documentary on Amazon around this time and so I was listening to his music and digitized one of the records from the collection.  In looking back I can see that I reused some a couple of these tracks on future mixes.

Hold Music Volume 2

This is the second "Hold Music Mix" that I made last year.  If I remember correctly a lot of these tracks were things I was listening to at the time and were tracks I was playing before meetings with coworkers.  I made this one fairly soon after the first one, in May.

Hold Music Volume 1

Last year when we entered into quarantine and started working from home I began playing music on an open mic before video call meetings for work.  I thought of the music as music for everyone while we were on hold waiting for a meeting to start.  The early birds to the calls seemed to enjoy the music.  By May I decided I could put some music together in a mix to share with them.  This is the first mix I made and I named it "Hold Music Volume 1" because I knew this was going to be a series.  This first mix doesn't hold with some of my usual rules of not repeating artists on a mix.  That was because I was putting this together around May The Fourth and Cinco De Mayo and so putting on multiple Star Wars tracks or Yolanda Del Rio was less of a concern.  Also at the time I thought I'd never be sharing this beyond sharing with coworkers.  Also when I first made this I release is as one MP3 track and I didn't give any listing for the songs on the mix.  The other tracks on the mix were songs I had played before meetings around this time.  

Over the coming weeks I will be sharing all the "On Hold" mixes I've made.
