On October 1, 2007, I started as the Music Teacher for 8th graders at a charter school in Fort Lauderdale. Though the kids are challenging, in 6 weeks, I've moved them from Music Theory to creating Music Videos, which we are all having lots of fun with.
In addition to teaching, I'm writing concert reviews for the Broward Times. Click this photo of me with B.B. King for interviews and reviews I've done, to date.
You'll see my reviews of Patti Labelle, Queen Latifah, Jill Scott, Natalie Cole, Macy Gray, Mary J Blige, B.B. King and Al Green. Also, see photos of Captain Barrington Irving, the youngest pilot and first African American to fly solo around the world!
In 2006, back in the States, after a whirlwind adventure in China and Japan, I moved from Atlanta back to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, back to sea, sand and sunshine eternal. Click here for updates!
