A painting I created over the Dr. MLK, Jr. weekend, only hours before the historical Inauguration of 2009.
I was contacted by an AmeriCorp representative to be a part of the annual Dr. MLK tribute and celebration which was hosted by Durham Memorial Church this year.
I need to thank Patrick for the opportunity, and Chris Fuqua and Gary Andrews for suggesting Nina Simone to get me through the “all nighter.”
Nina Simone clip I was listening too while painting.
Some classic material. Thats all we post here!! Classics!
best quote of the clip: (“Stevie, you should see this hat!)
You’ll know the part when you get to it…WOW!!
One of Buffalo’s Greatest in action.
I always say that music, laughter and love are the universal languages that penetrate and conquer all barriers.
Well in this particular clip, the language of laughter is quite contagious.
All I’m saying is…WATCH this video. You’ll understand!!!!
Professionalism flew out the door on a rocket!!!! But I understand…
enjoy
007 in full effect. From what I gather from sources, our 44th President wore a “bullet proof suit.”
A fully bullet proof SUIT!?? WOW!!! More reason to admire this brothers style.
gum poppin. divorce talkin. love makin…Marvin Gaye, my all-time favorite artist/musician…EVER…but in rare form…or maybe quite normal. It’s hard to tell.
