The Greatest Love Story Ever Told "BRIDGES" ..... I can see her in the Distance on the River's others shore.....
BRIDGES
Travessia (Bridges) - Milton Nascimento
I have crossed a thousand bridges, in my search for something real,
There were great suspension bridges, made like spiderwebs of steel
There were tiny wooden trestles, and there were bridges made of stone
I have always been a stranger, and I've always been alone
There's a bridge to tomorrow, there's a bridge from the… Continue

There comes a time comes in your life when you finally get it..This is your Awakening!
THE AWAKENING

There comes a time comes in your life when you finally get it...
When in the midst of all your fears and insanity you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere, the voice inside your head cries out - ENOUGH!

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~~
