All good. great music irregardless place of origin! Special nod to the Blues and God! Special thanks to my late father for introducing me to daily doses of the Blues through BB, Albert King, Albert Collins, Jimmy Reed, Elmore James and all the greatest "soul" singers while growing up. Also, thanks to him for experiencing the country way of life through his parents, my grandparents. All that crabbing, hunting, playing in cornfields, catching turtles/snakes/etc and traveling with him while he was in the Army (me too!!). So many will never know the sights and sounds of the country way's of living. Mosquitoes, hard work and lots of laughter and family friends. The late William Hart Sr. of East Orange NJ, was it's first Black Mayor and my Uncle. What a person, as were each of his late children, my cousins (all died early)! The Delphonics sang at his Inaugural Ball. .I remember those days before the Bloods and Crips, they are everywhere now. Also, all those great jazz musicians I met in places in Korea , Germany, Ft .Bragg N.C..(I played a 2 month gig there after Army duties with Clarence Palmer in Fayettville N.C(GB's organist), I've played at times with most of GB's organists' at one time or another, to include Dr. Lonnie Smith, Clarence Palmer, and Charles Covington. Thanks to jazz great Lou Donaldson, for giving me a shot. Gary Bartz, Keter Betts are other greats that hired me. Very special thanks to all the greatest seeker's of various truths, unknown and known. We have all been hoodwinked and bamboozled by the others for their personal gains enough.
