I always remember the great Bill Evans Quote " The best you can do is find your own niche and carve it"

"Get yourself a new broom and sweep the blues away"- Maxine Sullivan in one of my favorite albums of all time,"Great Songs from the Cotton Club by Harold Arlen, Ted Koehler-Maxine Sullivan"
she recorded this at the age of 73- sounds fantastic- totally swings-

My favorite quote applied to life and music comes from my Lake Tahoe piano teacher (originally from Boston) Mickey Gentily "There's no such thing as a mistake!! Especially when you place it twice!!!" after all you can't spread your wings until you jump (or fall) from your perch....& I must mention "Annie Friedland is a super-great melodic genius ; whose music can help us all stay alive!!!"

Oral tradition has been at the core of the history of people of color, however, written history is where it's at. This group should make a huge difference in the future to the next generation. In the meantime, please request that your library purchase my book and CDs at this link: www.fyicomminc.com/inpursuit.htm

Thanks, in advance, for your support.

How many of you remember Amir Rahied when he was on WYEP? You may recall that he always ended his morning show with a quote from Nelly Blair. I used to think that she was not a real person until I actually met her!
Amir would close out his show bn y saying..."In the words of Nellie Blair, keep your pretty ways."

When I finally met Ms. Blair and she was leaving the Name of the Game after seeing Al Hibbler she actually said that to me!

Nelly is no longer with us but I'll always remember that. Amair still say that when he ends a show,

"Keep your pretty ways", ok/

Peace,

Kevin

Pittsburgh is a very interesting breeding ground for self creation. It is unique in its own right. I see it in its history, its heritage, and its people. Its rather unfortunate that the success of most "famed" artists only comes when they leave the city. Yet, its a beautiful thing when you can witness and appreciate these wonderful manifestations in its rare and untainted moment whether in it's infantile stages or the later stages of creation. I'm constantly amazed and inspired by this crazy city for which I was born and raised in, Still City.

The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh actually has over 300 interviews in its Oral History of Music in Pittsburgh collection:
http://www.carnegielibrary.org/research/music/pittsburgh/ohmp/

It's everything from educators and historians like Carl McVicker, Sr., Harry Clark and the Pgh Courier's Frank Clark to lots and lots of jazz performers such as: Jimmy Ponder, Nathan Davis, Joe Harris, Carl Arter, Flo Cassinelli, Danny Conn, Chuck Austin, Joe Negri, Bobby Boswell, and many more!
