BILLY DEE SINGS MARVIN GAYE

It gets redundant after a minute, but the funniest parts are watching his eyebrows to give expression and the funny hands at the bottom of the screen making wacky and creepy gestures.


OLD SCHOOL FLYER: HAND DRAWN

old-school-flyer

My long-time friend DJ Riq sent this to me. It’s a hand drawn flyer from 1995 for a party. This pre-dated my Adobe Photoshop experience. So I had to do it old school style by drawing on plain white paper and making xerox copies at Kinkos on the stock colored paper. What a great piece of memorabalia.


PARTY WITH A PURPOSE: BRING EVERYONE!!

Please bring a canned good to this event as we are aiming to give back in donation to the community food bank. Do the “good deed” of helping out the less fortunate with a little something from our abundant cupboards. By the way, that canned good gets you into the party for free, and makes you eligible for giveaways like caps and other goodies.

Bring EVERYONE with you. When I say “everyone” …I mean everyone!!!

OH SUSAN

Just to give a little background on this video and song.
Basically it went like this:
Both of my children hum songs to themselves all day long (school, home, car, bathroom etc…) 
I was working on some music with a recording program open, and I called my youngest over to the computer. I asked what song he was singing, and he replied, “A song that I wrote in my head.”
I hadn’t heard the words, only the melody, so I was interested in seeing what he would do once I hit the record button on the laptop…and THIS is what came out. 

The drawings are his as well, which I just kinda cut and edited to fit the song. Enjoy. And the answer the question which is sure to follow…”NOPE!! We don’t know who SUSAN is…!”


HIP HOP HISTORY

What is meant to be shall be! This following material is certainly a moment to remember from the pages of hip hop history. For those of you who were HUGE fans of the Juice Crew, this video/documentary short should “make your day..”

THE ONE AND ONLY…5

For all you lovers of REAL soul music. No matter how many attempts are made, from New Kids on the Block, New Edition, Hi-Five, Soul 4 Real, BackStreet Boys, Menudo, Brutha, Debarge, etc.. etc…etc… NEVER WILL THERE BE ANOTHER!! Luckily and Thanks to YouTube, we don’t have to say Goodbye to the good times nor the good music. Enjoy!!!

NOTE: Mike seems to be singing live for sure, but his brothers don’t have mic..so their must’ve been back up singers elsewhere in the studio. Also, neither guitar has a plug/wire coming from it…hmmm…
