…or maybe two so what it do? I guess you can say we’re doing our due diligence; will the madness be over soon?

My dude down on Bay Street down in Nassau in the Bahamas said jokers haven’t stopped the madness so I guess I’ll have back with this…

…soul food / Sunday meal, it’ll be something they can feel; my constituents already know what it is when we “holla back with this”

We just got back into the lab; Oh Yes! We’re Back With This!  earlier? out here on I-20 in Atlanta is where we swerved! 

Wasn’t racing the motorcycles posted up at the Quik Trip over on Panola Road in Stonecrest; after they swerved they’re chilling / let it rest..

They’re usually down at the BP station on North Ave. across from the Varsity but the block was hot so they had to let it rest..

…like those that don’t believe Joe Biden won the election but in the meantime and between time we’re rocking your section listening to Ronnie Laws with a track called Smoke House (Extended Version)

Larry Levan did the remix plus former Crusaders member Wayne Henderson produced it! disco / jazz / funk? we’re seduced by it! check this meal we’re serving !

Wayne Henderson – I’m Staying Forever

Sunday Jazz Continues per these last few hours of June; we’re moving forward with a tune..

…or maybe two as we act like we knew; moving forward never backwards, the spinning around will make you swoon..

Opportunities blown? we’ll move on, even though we’re trying to keep the O-Dog Day Party vibe going…

Diplomatic immunity is exercised, it’s on!! astrologers mention the New Moon Eclipse on July 2nd; soon some of us will second that emotion!!

Rolling like Smokey Robinson and The Miracles while we provide the sound and these lyricals..

Listening to Crusaders alumni Wayne Henderson with a track called I’m Staying Forever; my attitude per experiencing / witnessing signs, wonders and miracles..

It’s got that Crusaders jazz funk sound, bumping per the theme of this Sunday Jazz edition…
