Regarding the theme of “Fire”, of course the first thing I thought of was my brother, dan. We used to do this thing where we’d try to get our heart beats going as hard as we could, me by playing drums, and him by spinning fire. We’d push each other further and further, the harder I’d play, the harder he’d spin, and the more frenzied his fire dancing, the faster my tempo. Finally, when his poi would run out of fuel and the flames would go out, we’d hurry over and put our hands on each other’s hearts to see how hard we got them pumping. So, this segment of Hit Record On TV is a tribute to those times, which are some of my fondest memories of our grown-up years (of course, they can only barely compete with the pillow fights we’d have when we were kids).

Dan helped me start hitRECord ten years ago, and he’d be ecstatic to see that we’re making a whole TV show nowadays. But, ever the optimist, I don’t think he’d be surprised.

Excelsior!
