"Hold to The Wrapping"

"Pops"

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1666015/fan_mail/new] And still.... We all have memories and stories that we can talk about our father's. The stories I have are not based on long eloquent conversations that we had- that was not Snow! My life lessons were derived from observing- the good and bad -of  this man of action. "Pops" ...encapsulates the  essence of the man that had "many" mouths to feed and went about those things to ensure we had "somt'eat".  As I look back it seems that a number of his actions were indeed based on that fact. I hope this piece stirs memories within all of you of your dad's as we celebrate them on this day... HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!! OUR SPIRIT LIVES!!! PEACE!!!

"Relative"***

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1666015/fan_mail/new] "Perspective is Relative" Even as one reads those words, the thoughts that begin to formulate in one's mind may differ tremendously from what was intended by the author. It takes some growing up to actually arrive at the point of "becoming grown" and realizing and accepting that as we traverse along this journey- that perhaps everything is working out as it's supposed to.  The piece I was led to publish today speaks directly to that exact concept. "RELATIVE" ...yes, it is another composition that I am re-publishing because it truly seems that a variety of my pieces are glaringly more relevant at this point of my journey and the journey's of SO many around me.  So, stick with me as I reminisce and allow GOD to use me to convey the message that it is contained within me through these SPIRIT inspired words. OUR SPIRIT...LIVES! PEACE

"Hold to The Wrapping"

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1666015/fan_mail/new] Oftentimes, that for which we find ourselves desperately searching is right there within our hands or contained within that which we willingly discard.  This entire piece, music and all, is intended to be disconcerting-an example of what we find ourselves doing within our lives. Over complicating things when there is no need and casting away those things that are/were designed to simplify the entire journey. "Hold to the Wrapping" is an encouraging word that I hope inspires us to be careful to use discernment regarding the purported gift and that we consider to be only its' wrapping. You know the saying 'all that glitters is not gold... Well,I have another oldie..."One man's trash is another man's treasure". Be careful to not throw away the gift simply because we have been indoctrinated to only consider its packaging disposable and without much thought throw it away. OUR SPIRIT...LIVES! PEACE!

"Longing*

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1666015/fan_mail/new] Tomorrow, March 16th, 2026, is my 65th birthday! PRAISE GOD!! I share this piece with all those with whom I have enjoyed this time-this blessing.  "Longing" is a piece that I hope evokes your special memories of people and times that let you know, as it does me, that the process of longing is... SIMPLY LOVE THAT REFUSES TO FADE. So, ENJOY this piece as you...REMEMBER! OUR SPIRIT...LIVES! PEACE!

'trippin' "**

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1666015/fan_mail/new] This current administration afforded numbers of people and groups of people to remove their masks and expose themselves for who they truly are and what they truly represent. 'trippin" is a short piece that illuminates some of the things that we as blacks, especially men, encounter on a daily basis. Regrettably those persons and companies now feel no need to disguise their reprehensible actions towards those they feel are less than. I shall not allow myself to be denied the rights that are inherently mine as a human nor those Civil Rights that so many of my ancestors shed sweat, tears, and in many cases blood to attain! OUR SPIRIT...LIVES!   PEACE!
