Back in the ATL…

I arrived back into Atlanta on the weekend. Picked up my bags at baggage claim & I ran into Jon B. It was our first time meeting. Cool brother, great vibe & energy. I placed a copy of EXIST in his hands & made my way to the train station to head home.

I arrived home & just chilled. I was tired, but had plenty of energy to go check out a movie. “Miracle at St. Anna”… Spike Lee is a brilliant film maker. The ending had me a bit choked up. Even for an ultra cool brotha like me, I felt that story.

So check it, I’ve been traveling so much that I at times loose track of time. I wake & sent Charles an email asking him, “Yo Charles, what time are we speaking @ Morehouse today?” … He was like, ” Dude, we dont speak @ Morehouse until Monday…: ) “… Wow… 

So Monday comes & we arrive @ Morehouse to a full room of students. Mad love. With a few female students from Spellman in attendance. It was an excellent session. The students had a lot of valid & interesting questions. Overall total success.

After that I dashed over to have dinner with my new friends, Suchita & Mark. We laughed all night while having dinner. : )

Charles picked me up Tuesday evening to head over to Sugar Hill for another album release / listening party. Which was fused into Joi’s jam session, which is the regular Tuesday night event at Sugar Hill. Joi’s energy is amazingly demanding… I love it. You have to watch her. She called me at the beginning of her 2nd set & I performed “Part The Waves” & “Nobody KNows”. It was a great performance. Then I went home, ate some grits, wheat toast & veggie patties… YUM!!!

You are BRILLIANT !!!

The existence of one’s self is so complicated to themselves, let alone to try to have someone comprehend and understand it. I feel through your music I can start to break down the existence of the person I love most and why it is me that they chose regardless of anything. The emotions that are brought forth through your music is something I cannot describe and it almost scares me but all I want to do is embrace it and feel it and be able to let him feel it too…..

You truly are something that God has sent to me in times where it matters the most. It is like experiencing raw, deep and real emotion through my ears and into my soul.

This was the only way I knew how to tell you that what you do touches people in the best indescribable ways. I am from Boston and unfortunately haven’t gotten the opportunity to see you perform but I am planning to make a trip where ever you do perform. Please respond and let me know, I would love to support the music you make.
