    Hi Roby,
    Yeah Bro, the Dirty sax, the Dirty sound is one of the roots of music.Often I get Dirty and Freak onstage poeming to a blues and/or funk groove. Ben Webster, Gato Barbieri... And how about Junior Walker?!!! All Stars!

    I dreamed - on Obama's election Inaugural Ball. He's call up George Clinton, Bootsy Collins and Maceo Parker, Georgie Benson, Ronnie Barrage and William Parker. Amiri Baraka is on vocals. I'm playing marimba and comeback calls to Amiri. We're playing before a nationally, internationally, televised audience. Barack and Michelle are boogeying down. Billions ars funkin out. Palin's haters are migrating to northwest Greenland. Great dream!

    Are you here in Paris? If you still are here, we gotta invite you up to wail with the "Family", Paris-American jazz players here since the 90's. Howie Alexander was telling me about you when I jammed with him and Nelson last June at the( Pittsburgh) Shadow Lounge.I think you and shared the (Paris) Miroiterie stage some 2 years ago. Lookin' forward to it.
    Keep the Beat on the Pulse of Life!

    Thank goodness. I was afraid it was all over and that real jazz had drowned in the smooth jazz sea, a category that is really a misnomer. You got it all! That is the real reality! The ancestors are dancing and chillin' and finger snapin' and groovin' to all that you do. You are representin'. Give thanks and praises for your soul, your mind, your heart...and your looks? they ain't too bad either.

    Well Richmond has so many musical people there. My family is one of them, although we really came to Richmond from Charles City County. Lonnie Liston Smith, Joe Kennedy, Jr.,Bill Robinson,The Harmonizing Four (Roberta Flack and Ella Fitzgerald came from Newport News, Va.) We are Browns, Carter, Greens, Jones, Wallace, Banks, Coles.

    Oh, yeah...and Roots. My cousin James Roots sang with Clara Ward Singers and his daughter Desiree is a wonderful Jazz singer in Richmond. There is "Plunky and Oneness" and an Afro Caribbean group called Ban Caribe`. Richmond does not have anywhere near the venues that Pittsburgh has though.
