Please visit kiva.org to learn about my favorite microcredit organization. So far I have helped fund a fish monger in Uganda, a food saleswoman in Togo, and a merchant in Mexico. These are people running businesses that are desperately needed in their communities. You can be a direct part of making their lives better! You loan $$ to folks who would ordinarily be denied a loan from a bank, and you get all your principal back at the end of the loan term. It costs nothing! the default rate is close to zero. Check it out!
InfluencesGene Harris, Herbie Hancock, Ahmad Jamal, Tommy Flanagan, Red Garland, Keith Jarrett, Thelonius Monk, Geri Allen, Oscar Peterson.
Sounds LikeThis is acoustic jazz, with bebop and soul jazz influences, as well as some modern inflections.

kekeke. I found a post-it note from a month or two ago that had "CALL MRAY" scrawled and triple underlined.
Regardless, I'll definitely drop a line soon!

I'd be writing something flattering, or perhaps a random inside joke, but this here comments area is already chock full of love from the ladies to you. So all I'll say is that I miss you, bro, and leave it at that.

PS.
