<p>Welcome to the launch of a new kind of bonus episode I’m calling <strong><em>Mixtape Moments</em></strong> — short stories sparked by <strong>a recent news item</strong> or an<strong> anecdote</strong> I haven’t yet found a place for in a full-length episode.</p><p>There’s <strong>no set timetable</strong> for how often these will appear, but the format <strong>opens the door</strong> to new ways of experiencing <em>My Weekly Mixtape</em> — including <strong>quick hitters </strong>when the moment calls for it, whether it’s <strong>reacting to breaking news</strong>, a <strong>surprise album release</strong>, or <strong>a story that simply can’t wait</strong>.</p><p>This premiere <em>Mixtape Moment</em> was inspired by this week’s news that <strong>Bruce Johnston</strong> is stepping away from <strong>The Beach Boys</strong> after more than six decades with the band. </p><p>So join me as I celebrate Bruce’s remarkable journey with the band, while sharing a personal story about how a simple act of mid-concert kindness — <strong>a bottle of</strong> <strong>FIJI Water</strong> — became an <strong>unforgettable memory</strong> for this <strong>longtime fan</strong>.</p><p></p><p>🎙️ <strong>LEARN MORE</strong></p><p>🎵 <strong>Hear the Playlists / Browse the Catalog:</strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://myweeklymixtape.com">⁠ </a><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://myweeklymixtape.com⁠">https://myweeklymixtape.com⁠</a></p><p>💬 <strong>Join the Mixtaper Community (Patreon):</strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://patreon.com/myweeklymixtape">⁠ </a><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://patreon.com/myweeklymixtape⁠">https://patreon.com/myweeklymixtape⁠</a></p><p>🌐 <strong>Connect on Social:</strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://myweeklymixtape.com/social-media">⁠ </a><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://myweeklymixtape.com/social-media⁠">https://myweeklymixtape.com/social-media⁠</a></p><p>📧 <strong>Email the Show / Contact:</strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://myweeklymixtape.com/contact">⁠ </a><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://myweeklymixtape.com/contact⁠">https://myweeklymixtape.com/contact⁠</a></p>
