The Spin Masters Master DJ's, Al Paez & Steve Scaffidi, jammin' like it's 1979 in this exciting music experience!

Al Paez & Steve Scaffidi were two of the top DJs in New Orleans during the heyday of the club scene back in the 70's and 80's. From 4141, The Civic, Spinnakers, Friar Tucks and more, Al & Steve jammed at the best clubs in town to huge crowds. When the insane club scene eventually faded away, these guys refused to let the music die and continued to jam with their friends spinning tunes from those y

ears in an exciting DJ showdown that rocked the house unlike any music event out there. Now, Al & Steve have come together with "The Spin Masters Music Experience", where these two great DJ's go toe to toe like two heavyweight champs spinning the best music from the greatest era in music history that will knock you out!

This song is very special to me. I have 2 beautiful daughters and now 3 precious granddaughters and another one...yes another girl...on the way! My message to them is in the chorus:
"Never forget what I told you, when you were a little girl.
Life is short so don’t be afraid, to give your dreams a whirl.
Don’t quit when times get tough, and you know that they will.
Believe in yourself no matter the pain, your dreams are just over that hill."

I've been telling stories since I was a little kid, but I had no idea that I had a gift for storytelling until my sophomore year in high school when my English teacher, Miss. Trotter, opened my eyes to the craft and gave me the confidence to pursue it as a career. Many of you may know me for my work in film and television, and also for my series of adventure stories for kids, but you may not know that I have a passion for music and writing songs. Over the years I've written songs for some of my films and a slew of jingles for many television commercials, but what I truly love is writing songs inspired by stories that one day could be recorded and distributed to the public.

My dad had a gift for songwriting so maybe some of his talent was passed down to me, so I finally decided to take it seriously and started working on a songbook this year. If you'd like to see what I've been working on, click on this link and check out my new music page: https://www.ghostriderpictures.com/music

I'd like to thank Miss Trotter and my dad, Martin "Papa Dude" Scaffidi, along with my family and many others...you know who you are...for inspiring me all these years!

Many people ask me why I’m still motivated to be creative after all the years. It’s not about having an agenda or meeting a deadline or being on someone else’s schedule anymore…it’s all about the pure joy of creating something that will be here long after I’m gone. Maybe something my kids and grandkids and their kids can enjoy and be proud. Please take 4 minutes to watch this short video which will open your eyes and your heart to just how precious life is and maybe motivate you to do something special with your life right now. ❤️ https://www.facebook.com/share/v/BaPF5j8bCU5TiD5k/?

A RAW MUSIC REVIEW
BLACKBERRY SMOKE
L’Auberge Casino, Baton Rouge, LA
4-27-24
By Steven Scaffidi

There’s something I just love about good ole’ southern rock music. You know what I’m talkin’ about…The Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Outlaws and on and on. Back in the 70’s, Capricorn Records was cranking out some of the best music on the planet. So when guitar legend and co-founder of the Allman Brothers Band, Dickey Betts, passed away a few weeks ago, it felt like the apocalypse of all music that I loved and lived for. To say the least…I was musically comatose.

Then, low and behold, I was thrown a lifeline when I realized I had 2 tickets to a concert in Baton Rouge featuring a little band out of Atlanta, Georgia called Blackberry Smoke. Just a couple of years ago, I had no idea that these guys even existed until the day that I just happened to fall on a YouTube clip of the band playing “One Horse Town.” Wow! It was like going back in time to a place where great songs filled the radio airwaves rather than the poppy garbage that floods social media today. I was hooked and my new favorite band was Blackberry Smoke!

My original plan was to take my daughter, Gabi, to the show since she was raised on songs like “Heard it in a Love Song” by the Marshall Tucker Band. When she was just a baby her first words were, “Can’t be wrong”, so I was confident that she would love this band. Our father/daughter date was going to be amazing but the day before the show she called me to say that she couldn’t make it due to “baby issues”, and that maybe I could convince her husband and my son-in-law, Boyd, to go with me. Unfortunately, Boyd’s taste in music and mine are about as far apart as the north and south poles so I put on my best pathetic, “feel sorry for me face” and he said, “You got a date, Mr. Steve!”

I was stoked that Boyd was going to the concert with me, so I was eager to get there early to grab a few cocktails and secure our seats. Before long, the room started to fill up with loyal fans of the band who were excited to hear their boys jam. You should have seen the long lines at the merch table…it was crazy! The electricity in the place was building and even Boyd was getting excited to see a band he knew absolutely nothing about. When the house lights went down and the band took the stage, the roar from the crowd shook the room and there was no doubt that this night would special.

The band didn’t waste any time and kicked off the show with the rockin’ jam, “Six Ways to Sunday”. The crowd was on their feet from the opening note while the boys delivered big time with stellar guitar licks and Charlie Starr’s awesome vocals. One great song after the other, Blackberry Smoke kept the joint jumping with tunes like, “Good One Comin’ On”, “Hey Delilah”, “Lucky Seven”, and “Waiting for the Thunder”. By the time they got to one of my favorite songs, “One Horse Town”, the audience was eating out of the palm of their hands cheering for more. The set ended with some killer harmonies on their crowd-pleasing jam, “Little Bit Crazy” that brought the house down. Yeah, it was like the good ol’ days of classic rock concerts at the Warehouse in New Orleans!

After a raucous standing ovation, the band delivered two more big hits with, “Dig A Hole”, and “Ain’t Much Left of Me”. What a great show and what a great band! Blackberry Smoke is one of those bands that give hope to guys like me that can’t get enough of that great music inspired down south. The Allmans, Tucker Boys, Florida’s Guitar Army, Skynyrd, and even Tom Petty and his Heartbreakers would be proud of these boys who continue to carry the torch for great Southern Rock Music. Hey, if Blackberry Smoke comes to your neck of the woods…one suggestion…don’t miss em’!
