GREETINGS EVERYONE! Get ready for the best of holiday events, concert benefits, parties, art exhibits and so much more taking place in November and December! I just love when the holidays start approaching. Especially with all of the events that include a tasty cuisine and when you can listen to good holiday music. As that brings to mind the straight crap music that I’ve been hearing on the radio lately. Will the REAL SINGERS please stand up!!! My daughter and I have been just complaining about how today’s music just doesn’t make you FEEL THE MUSIC with your soul. There are so many songs coming out now that sound like Mickey Mouse music. Can we please hear new songs that “move me” (like songs by Earth Wind & Fire, Chaka Khan, Anita Baker, NEXT, Kirk Franklin, Jill Scott, Yolanda Adams, Donnie McClurkin, Ice Cube, Queen Latifah, R. Kelly, Usher, Indie Arie). Thank goodness I can always resort to jazz and that Old School R&B.
