       The 1st week of May 2005ought to be marked as the " First Rendy (Lady) Week ".

      Here in the West, Laura Bush made headlines with about the humorous speech she gave at the white house dinner. Back in the East, Lucy Kenya's First Lady made another debut in the " comedy circles " going as far as attacking a camera man Clifford Derrick. Isn't this good business for WHO?

         She had a right to ask the volume to be turned down at least she could have vybed her two sons who were at the party to ask the sound guy to reduce the sound by 3db (decibels) / half as loud.

    For those who missed Laura's Bush First Lady news on TV, the article can be found under the section titled " Articles "

    BTW This reminds me of a gig in Kenya back in 98 or 97 when me & my boyz DJ Mato Studio B (Martin Makasi Buru Phase 4, Antwan & Eric (Jade Sounds Buru Phase 3), were to do a wedding Gig for the Son in Law of the former Mkulima nambari moja, Mwalimu nambari moja, Mchezaji kandanda nambari moja, Rais ...... Anyways, The Reception was at Kabarak High School in Naks (Nakuru). But Do I say !

      Do you remember they way the news caster would announce on KBC TV/Radio news " Barabara zote za elekea hadi maonyesho ya kilimo ya Nairobi " ......... well, now tweak that " maonyesho ya kilimo ya Nairobi " part and replace with " Kabarak High School " in Naks !! Traffic was serious for people on foot let alone all those fancy Range Rovers HSE which dominated that road. Diplomats, MP's, Ministers, Judges ....... nearly all top peeps in Kenya could be seen that day.

    Most businesses remained closed that Saturday. The people of Nakuru town were seen walking to the event carrying vyondo's and plastic bags. The joy in the faces was of another level. Invited or uninvited, who cares if it's going down at the Orezo's shule it's beyond doubt it's for the general public ! Kabarak high schools sports field was full of several big Tents making a circle each of them having a big grill and caterers. This is one of the " Unseen weddings "

     ....... so anyways si tumefika like this we setup the sound system. Apparently PPS (Presidential Press Service) had already setup their own PPS "horn speakers" those which throw sound far coz of being acoustically designed / horn loaded (remember those Ahuja Speakers zile za grey color seen at Harambees they look like big sufurias eheee those ones! They are used for vocals / humans speech rather than music)

       Back then, you know the ziks to play at a reception was soft sentimental kinda music: Gospel, Instrumentals, Jazz kwanza Kenny G music was the hot request in the block by wedding couples (still is I guess). Haiya ! Si tushaweka the Song -Sentimental by msani / artist (Kenny G - Kenny Njoroge LOL). Mahewa zinachapa chini ya maji (at low volume levels)

     Lo and behold punde si punde Lee Njiru appeared na sura ya ndimu / kazi (serious face). He orders the music be turned off ati kazi yetu ni ya dinner dance (evening Party for the young at heart) na it was time for the wazees to burudika to something more Tantalizing !

     It's time we chose either one - going with Lee Njiru orders or two - the Bride & Groom's earlier request plans - to play soft music. It did not even take seconds for us to make this decision eshhhh, kwani who are we ! We chose the latter. He could have simply done the same stunt " Rucy " was about to pull, (Lee Njiru would have ordered one of his peeps to go to the classroom where we were getting electricity from and unplug the power from the socket, therein after making sure that we still spin at the evening bash/party, halafu ensure when we are done spinning at the dinner dance. From there he would make us suffer consequences LOL !)

       Whilst the Nakuru town guests did " shopping " (.... remember those plastic bags and viondos mentioned earlier ? , well kumbe they were to be used instead paper plates), they danced or rather nodded their heads to the music in the back ground. Kabugi, Matee, Josh .....let me putit like this ilikuwa ina sound kama " crunk " music even though they did not know the Kaleo/Kalenjin language halafu ilikuwa na zile " small pause " parts kama zile Mwenda wako Mariru au Mumunya eeh. EXAMPLE: Mwenda wako Mariru, " small pause " halafu continuation " eeh Mariru ......" e.t.c e.t.c e.t.c.

      The loud live blaring music came from the " Tantalizers " on the other entertainment tent. Lee Njiru had already given them the go ahead to takeover. Who were the Tantalizers ? Well It was none other than ... The Kalenjin Sisters Band !

     Who is this man ? Lee Njiru Don't think hard coz you would recognize definitely know this jamaa. If I show you his photo he was/ is often at least 20 meters or so from the former Kenyan President running unyoya (fast) besides the former presidents motorcade akishikila mbwenya / koti (Coat) alafu huyoooo ! ndani amedandia a moving car.. BTW. Even right now he works for the former "Mkulima nambari moja, Mwalimu nambari moja, mchezaji kandanda nambari moja, .... e.t.c.
