2 Steps From the Blues. . .

The CD is supposed to have debuted in the great city of Greenwood, Ms. last weekend.

I just talked to Casper, and he promises he IS playing the cut..."Love Is So Good When Your Stealin' It"...He sounded glad to hear from me...maybe he IS playing it. The author, James Lewis, is ill ...somewhere in the deep south. Tyrone Davis is suffering a massive heart attack in Chicago, Ronald Isley is down somewhere in the midwest - Ronald is to receive a visit from the Queen of Soul, none other than Aretha Franklin this week. If anyone derserves a Royal visit - it's Ronald Isley from the Isley Bros....
"FIGHT THE POWER", my brother.

Of course, I never expected it to be easy...I just never thought it would be so hard. Then, I am the self-appointed Messenger ...Interpreter of great Soul Music in the great tradition of Soul artists. Where Belief is King and Aretha is Queen, and the "Hits Just keep On Happening".

I had no idea I would start a personal journal on this date...Three Years Ago Today...a call from my sister-in-law- from New York to say she was OK ...we had yet to "see" the news. A show the night before...frighting, these events, and probably inevitable. You gotta' "Fight the Power that Be"...from Everywhere it seems. "What the World Needs Now" is no so much Love, but Soul...I believe. Only fitting my personal journal begins on this date. Still Fighting. Still fighting to Believe.
