Wayback Wednesdays & Mix Week ∞ Wild West Whip Cream Wednesday
For today’s mix, we travel back to 2003. When The Duke Of Straw still worked as a coffee-jerk at Borders. Back then, I worked with a the same woman for on almost every Wednesday for three months. Somehow, we turned our shift into a theme: Wild West Whip Cream Wednesday.
We wore western style shirts. I wore my cowboy hat. We put whipped cream on everything. Mochas, cappuccinos, biscotti. Everything.
I was writing screenplays back then. I wrote a short film called Ruff and Tufff Movue Buffs. With my co-worker behind the camera (she had studied film in college) and some friend in front of it. We made my short. Being a musician, I also wrote the soundtrack. Hence the first song below.
Not only was she a fun woman to work with, a talented artist and film maker, she had excellent taste in music. I made this mix for her, to remember our days today behind the coffee counter.
