A long overdue posting

I have received a lot of e-mail messages from well wisher who have heard me on WGN 720 AM and asked, “Why haven’t you put something on your web page to let people know you’re back on the air?” I have not posted a new note on the web page because my mom has been gravely ill since mid February, and I have spent all of my free time with her and my sister. She’s been battling cancer for several years, and in February, she came close to the exit. It’s day to day, but considering her doctor gave her 5-days at the most on February 15th, she’s proving to be hard to write off.

So here’s my broadcasting update. I’ve done four shows with Dan Deibert on WGN 720 AM, on Saturday mornings from 9-Noon. We were scheduled to be on this past Saturday (24 April 2009), but station management decided to audition someone else in our time slot. I don’t know when Dan and I will be back on again, but as soon as I know, I’ll post it. I will also note it on my Face Book Page. I am extremely grateful to all of you who listened to the shows. Thanks for your support and well wishes.

Black History Month

It’s February 2009, and Black History Month starts out with a whole new swing. Barack Obama is the President of The United States of America; and not to be out done, republicans have elected Michael Steele chairman of the Republican National Committee. This way, when the gloves come off, it’ll be Black on Black fighting, something unfortunately we’re use to in this Country.

Another just in time for BHM is the release of Terry Armour’s 47th Birthday Celebration DVD. On 22 September 2008, family, friends, and folks that dug him, came out to U.S. Cellular Field (The Joan) to celebrate and remember T. Dog. If you were there, you’ll probably see yourself on the DVD, if you weren’t, see what you missed. To order your copy, here’s the link to Take One Video Productions.
