DOUBLETAKEIn 1942, Germany had concentration camps. On Feb. 1st, 2009, U.S. House of Representative Bill 645 calls for "national emergency centers" for keeping civilians (Code Words: political dissidents?) on military installations. They're not the same thing, right? RIGHT?

WE ARE THE BEGINNINGToday is Special. VERY SPECIAL. President Barack Obama is in. George Bush is out. Yesterday we celebrated Martin Luther King Jr's Birthday. His "Dream" will echo for decades. But on Wednesday the Celebration wiil be over. Tomorrow is the beginning which will give us hope for the future. But too many african americans, latinos, asians, and native americans and others believe the answer to Dr. King's Dream is President Obama. He is NOT. WE, YOU and I, are the real answers to our own Dreams. Can you find the answers to your life and future within yourself? When and if we can, we will all help President Obama and each other to solve the problems of Tomorrow.YES WE CAN because each of us is The POWER of ONE. Monday, November 3rd, 2008 12:09 PM
THE DAY THE EARTH WAS THRILLED48 hours. Then we will know.The Race to the White House. One man wins. One man loses. Words of Negative Past will become Words of Power Potential. "Everything must Change. Nothing stays the Same...." Music such as Jazz, Blues, and R&B will evolve for they speak to the past, present,and future. To perform and appreciate this music is to reflect a higher power within ourselves. Who will win? The Senator from Arizona? Or the Man from Africa, Hawaii, Harvard, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. All my global friends will be affected. The World Waits. Soon One Man will lead us. Into the Future.

Troubled WatersDespite the devastation of New Orleans four years ago by Hurricane Katrina, it remains a suffocating memory.Yes, the roots of jazz history have washed away but musicians across the world continue to keep the music alive. In 2008, Hurricane Gustav got lost on his way to New Orleans. Thanks, Mapquest. Sunday, June 1st, 2008 3:51 PM
