Greetings everyone! It's been a while since I've regularly updated this blog, so I thought I'd share why:
Each year, I commemorate Rahsaan's birthday in some way. One year, I did a radio show. Sometimes, I'll just listen to his music for most of the day. A few summers ago I threw a birthday bash for Rah in honor of what would have been his 75th. This year was quite different! I gave birth to baby Johnny on the eve of Rah's birthday. Johnny was born on August 6th, just four hours shy of the stroke of midnight. And the crazy part is that I didn't plan it this way. I didn't plan on having him to coincide with Rahsaan's birthday. In fact, the due date was August 11th. Sure, it would have been a nice twist for Johnny and Rahsaan to share August 7th, but it's better this way. Johnny can have his own birthday party without his mama throwing a tribute to Rahsaan.
Also, in anticipation of the new year, I decided to give the blog a facelift and a new title, which is the working title of the book. The Man Who Cried Fire. Whaddya think?
Cheers and happy holidays to everyone!
