This month is exactly two years ago

that I met Gary "Brotherman" Branchaud. Not only one of the most

talented bass players on the planet but also one of the coolest cats on

earth! I have had the honor and the blessing of doing many many shows

with Gary and more importantly, we have had some wonderful times

together as friends. One of the best and many gifts that The Lord so

graciously bestowed upon me when I moved to Nashville is…

I am so happy for you and your family. I think life is going to be a whole lot nicer for you now my friend. Congradulations on both c...hanges!

Doc, I couldn't agree more with you about Mandy's new pictures. The only thing I would like to add is "Our Princess is even more beautiful on the inside than she is on the outside." You did a great job at The Preston on Sat. night Mandy as always,
Love you,
Brotherman

OMG!!! I knew when I took these pictures of you on Saturday night at the Preston that they were going to be great but your beauty always amazes me!! I love the new pics. and your new profile picture. It's also stunning to think that these pictures don't even do you justice in comparison to you real life beauty. I stand in awe Princess!
Doc

OK, what's this about the clowns? Should I be worried? Not for you, for them!!! LOL!!! You may be the Princess of The People of Tennessee but your my baby!!! I am so proud of you! You are going to have so much fun with the Clowns and it's for such a great cause. I know that the children of The Children's Shriners Hospitals appreciate your every effort on their behalf. You are such a great and selfless person. No wonder everyone loves you so much.
Best,
Doc

Hey Princess,
I was shocked to see the blog go up by Sue. She's never blogged before has she? Anyway, I guess the secret is now out and all of the Olive Oil in Nashville will be gone by tomorrow!! LOL!! I think Susan should have also mentioned how healthy and delicious olive oil is for consumption. I love dipping bread sticks in it with fresh garlic and basil! Oh geeze! Now I want to go to the Olive Garden for lunch! Tell Sue great job on the blog,
Best,
Doc

Mandy,
I want to thank you so much for being a very important part of the Nashville Annual Blues Reunion. You did a wonderful job and Bobby Hebbs family also appreciated you acknowledging them during this time of mourning. Your performance was great and your expressions of love, sacrifice and contribution were impecable. I am so glad we are friends and also I don't want to leave out your little boys Dennis and Bruce. They are learning the valuable lesson of giving from the heart from you. They will take that with them the rest of their lives and it will help to make them be strong and loving men. You are a great talent, a great friend and a great Mom.
I love you girl,
Marion

Put it this way: Jazz is a good barometer of freedom… In its beginnings, the United States of America spawned certain ideals of freedom and independence through which, eventually, jazz was evolved, and the music is so free that many people say it is the only unhampered, unhindered expression of complete freedom yet produced in this country.~~~Duke Ellington

I think the idea is now for blacks to write about the history of our music. It's time for that, because whites have been doing it all the time.

It's time for us to do it ourselves and tell it like it is~~
