"Spanky" on guitar

Chalmers "Spanky" Alford

I'm a little sad today. I keep on making the same mistake. When you think of someone, then say 'i need to give them a call', do it.

"Spanky" passed yesterday, this after my first thought and conversation I had with a friend about him happening weeks ago. I hear he's on the new Al Green cd, I guess we'll have something new by him to listen to, however, I would have love to had talk with him, just to let him know, that I was playing again, needed some lessons, how are you and the family, i miss you, and when are you gonna be in NY again.

When am I gonna learn my lesson.

A guitar master, wonderful human being, make your soul rest in peace. I'm been blessed to have known you, lucky to have played side by side with you. Thanks for the lessons my brother.

Hot Chicz

Well I don't want to come off like a pig. It's so easy to do in today "everyone is equal" tone that's has been set in the american way of life. All equal, right, even in divorce. Why, I don't get it. What, I must split my mind and heart in half for wifey to have, really. That's that shit.

Anyway, I thought this would be the year I would tie the knot. I'd figure by now I'd would have all the skirt chasing feelings out of my system. However,over the past few years I learned some new lessons from chicz which have brought me to a new understanding about relationships. Game is played by both men and women. It's take two to tangled. But, understand, you can't change me emotionally. Show me how to managed my money better, take me somewhere i've never been, but don't fuck with my mind. That's neither fun or righteous. Just deal my experience as an guide to make a better way. Open to almost anything & sensitive to many. Sure your a hot chicz, and being a little spoiled is cool, but don't be selfish or greedy. There's only so many hoops a brother is gonna run through before he finds the next game.

Chris Rock is for Real!

Hail to the Queen

Before Janis Joplin, Joan Baez, and even Bob Dylan. There was Odetta. Seen in the eyes of many as the God Mother to American folk music scene. Dr. King called her the "Queen of Folk Music". Odetta's performance at the 1963 March on Washington is cemented in the history of the struggle for civil rights.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR. King

Thank you for your sacrifice.  You've made our lives rich and reverent.

A minute

Hey you all,

Darn its been a minute. Just awoke from a couple of hectic months of both work and play.  You know how I do.  If it aint fun it aint right, c'mon.

Yep, I've been in the basement for a couple of months.  Wood-shedding, hibernating and just plain brainstorming for the new year, new challenges, and new ways to have fun.

Just a couple of notable, Tip, Mos Def, Bilal with the Experiment @ Highline was a trip.  The Giant Step xmas party, it's always great seeing Nik from HEAVy, and celebrating DJ Seekten's birthday.  That's my girl, she just don't know it yet, hahaha. Darn, M  it's been a year.  How time is really moving.

So this one I'll keep short a sweet.  Love to all the one I love and lost.  No regrets, just some painful moments with a mixed of exhilarating memories.  I need to pinch myself.  I just love my life.  God, can you please just drop a few million from the sky so we all can eat.

Peace and love until next time.  God bless you all...!
