 My name is Toni Taylor-Helser, I'm a native Oregonian with a life-long passionate background in music and words. My grandmother nick named me Barefoot Baroness which was a natural to use the name Barefoot for my music projects 
I've taken my literary and music passions to working as a lyricist  a DJ on Mixstream Radio, and in artist management and public relations;  I've a special fondness and passion for management and promotion in the independent music industry. being a DJ on Mixstream radio is a perfect extension of what I do out of passion and how I make a living.

                <description><![CDATA[<br><br>
 For  Gene Smith  aka Daddy Rabbit who loved his Breedlove.<br>
 I am like a tree,<br>
 I start as a seed with not an inkling of what the sun appears to be or the passage of time. But I do know in that kernel that lies at my core that there is something that I must strive for, something I MUST reach.<br>
 Through soil, brick, concrete it doesn't matter I will find a way to reach it and when I do it's golden rays empower me with a newfound energy. I burst forth, uncurl my fronds and grow toward the light that calls me.<br>
<br><br>
 I stand tall and grow with each passing of the seasons, I weather storms learning when to stand strong and when to bend with the wind. I stand in the forest for a century and watch some of my brothers and sisters fall and some flourish. Then I fall...<br>
 The final fall, broken into pieces, my heartwood laid bare to the world. But then I feel hands lovingly touching the brokens pieces, a soft touch sanding the rough edges, making gentle cuts and I realize that my sacrifice will give many shelter and warmth where needed, provide a safe place for a child to sleep, and make music that touches many hearts and souls for centuries to come.<br>
 And it all was because of a humble carpenter and his Father.<br>
 I am like a tree.<br>
 <br>
  <br>

Happy 10 Years Mixstream Radio!!<br><br>
Celebrating 10 years of streaming live DJ shows is quite a phenomenal tenure. <br><br>
**Saturday June 9th we're hosting a special show and we hope you'll join us in chat**<br><br>
<br><br>
Some personal thoughts I'd like to share:<br><br>
Last Fall when I learned that the radio side of www.mixposure.com would celebrate a decade of live DJ shows I felt a huge sense of pride for what Dazed, WildCherry,and all of you Mixposure members have succeeded in building together. <br><br>
Along with that pride I have a real fondness for the artists and their respective music, then there is my fondness and pride for all the past DJ's, and our current DJ Team; Bubba, TV, Tricia, Larry and TeddZ.<br><br>
We have a devoted chat room community of participants who often say that we are a family, I agree -We are definitely a uniquely rare music community!<br><br>
<br><br>
 <br><br>
Between the stellar caliber of music chops, the collective musicianship, the collaborations between artists, and the devoted support of listeners Mix has become a solid music site that remains a fresh and a credible source for anyone involved in music. <br><br>
If you are a musician, a songwriter, booking agent, a band manager or someone looking for an alternative to mainstream over commercialized music then Mixposure is where you will find a place to call home. <br><br>
After having the great pleasure of bringing Barefoot Rock n Blues to you every Sunday evening last summer I was asked to consider managing the radio station side of Mix, happily I will say with great satisfaction that I've not regretted agreeing to this adventure for one single second. This community, the listeners, the artists; their music, the collaborations between artists, as well as their friendships are a continuous source of personal inspiration, growth and encouragement. I've been involved in some aspect of independent  music since my first job booking local bands for a coffeehouse in the early 70's but never has my sense of commitment and passion for this independent music philosophy been as strong as it is today at Mix. <br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>
I want to Thank you Dazed, WildCherry and all you Mixsters! Congratulations! <br><br>
<br><br>
~ Toni <br><br>
<br><br>
p. s. I'd like to add that if you are an Independent musician/songwriter of original music and not a Mix member I honestly and respectfully believe you are doing a great disservice to yourself and your music. We should talk. <br><br>
<br>

We already have commitments from many former greats from years gone by who will be returning to the airwaves to once again broadcast the very best in indie music available anywhere on the planet… and beyond. This Marathon Broadcast will begin at 5 p.m. est and go until 1:00 a.m. with our current DJ’s broadcasting in partnership with our former presenters of the Mixposure music catalog. I’m sure they’ll play many of their favorites from their broadcast days and will regale us with stories which are the essence of Mixstream Radio history.

  Barefoot Rock n Blues on Sundays Returns <br>
 <br>
  My name is Toni Taylor-Helser, I'm a native Oregonian with a life-long passionate background in music and words (writing). My grandmother nick named me Barefoot Baroness because of my dislike for shoes or socks, the nickname remained into "adulthood" as does my distaste for shoes. <br><br>
  I've taken my literary and music passions into working as artist management in public relations; with a special fondness and passion for management and promotion in the independent music industry. <br><br>
  Having this fantastic platform at Mixposure and Mixstream radio to extend the promotion of Indie Artists is a treasure and I am deeply fond of being able to be one of the messengers to bring their music to your ears.  <br><br>
  Barefoot Rock n Blues shows will always be heavily infused with rocking blues that engage the string instrument lover inside you, just like myself. However, don't be surprised; any genre is fair game, If I like it, you'll likely hear it. Occasionally I will bring theme shows into the mix (pun intended) as well. Got an idea?<br>  <br><br>
    Sundays @ 8pm eastern 5pm PST  .  <br><br>
  Hope to have you join us in chat.  <br><br>
 <br>
