Hey, Trevalyn,
A whole lot of players could stand to be more groove orientated within their playing. It's among the things that makes any style of music speak as a language. Conversations go well when only one person speaks and others listen, and t…
I totally agree! I've been bashing my head listening to gospel chops video s and I cant for once understand where the groove went. I too am from the old school and maybe I fell asleep for a few years and missed a lot of new fills that distinguish th…
I was just going over this thread again. Some very insightful input from you all. And the best part is it remained civilized. Great topic and a very stimulating form of discussion.

Waddup Brutha Jay. Just senin' a shout out to ya main man. Well, they're eatin' Toscha up in England like kids with Gummy Bears, so, I'll be with her this time when she heads back that way. my wife left to go back to Guam a couple of weeks ago with my 5 yr. old. to spend time with her mom. I'm glad I continued the work I've done here in N. Fla, cause I'm beginning to see the fruits of the work. A bit of recorded work is now being heard round the world, and I'll be back to travellin' the globe playin' music. I went through a lot being here in Jacksonville, but I'm thankful I've perservered and didn't quit. My wife wanted me to stop playin' and do the 9-5 thing, but, I knew this was what the Most High had in mind for me bruh. What's funny is, there were some cats here locally laughin' at me, well, now, I'd like to see them laugh now. Send a line when you can. One Love.
Hey Brutha Jay. I'm diggin' the pics main man. when you get a chance, check out the Tony Smotherman Licks of the Absurd clip on my page. It's a snipet he made in order to send to L.O.T.A. website. The tune is "Lost In Time", and that's the first recording of the tune before we redid it for "The Light Within" CD. Go to my myspace site and check Tony's site out(Top Friends space), and you will hear the difference. One Love.
Major blessings on the youth comin' into the world Bredren!! As a matter of fact, I'm waitin' on my passport to come in, and hopefully, I'll be in London and Paris for a month with Toscha. She left already, and Rod's hittin' in my place til the passport comes in for me. I'll def keep ya posted on that. One Love.
