Praise Jesus. The block in my stomach is slowly unraveling. I
know once he gets on stage....once he finally makes it on the
stage...he's gonna remember why he loved it all in the first place.
Since day 1 at rehearsals.....I've been hoping, praying for a spot on
this tour. Oh sure I've done the Peas, Nicki, Wayne....all for much
more money...tis true...,but nothing has moved my soul quite like is 12
year sabbatical..,and any possible return , I wanted apart of the
action.
Of course...as a minion, it's not easy
to keep my mouth shut...I mean since i know everything and all....but I
try...and hopefully is till have a friend in Alan Leeds after this.
Greatest tour manager I know and Mentor. He's one of the originals
here.
Pino Palladino...the other love of my life from a past
life....is doing his thing...moisturizing loins everywhere with every
slap of that bass. Lou...choreographer....Mark Jenkins.,.the original
"Untitled" body sculptor, and Roxanne George....my girl....the hair
stylist.....loving her like no other.
Some of my cohorts for years past - Martin Thomas as Production manager and lighting director.
Artless Poole, my brother and front of house sound engineer.
Kenny Nash - phillys own monitor engineer.
Sean Woods - who We know from Jill
And David Rule who has the best name next to Curtis Battles.
Then there's the newbies:
Chris Dave - Rick Rubins favorite drummer - sacrilegious I know.....
Ray Angry - our boy from the Roots who's subbing for Cleo Pookie Sample..,gotta love a nigga named Pookie.
Jesse Johnson, who's a beast but had another commitment so we have Jef Lee Johnson....killing it....
Sharkey
on guitar who I'm waiting to bust out. He's quiet and plays his
position but I heard him do som Spanish guitar during rehearsal
today...I know he can rock it.
We have our
background vocals.....note that I was around with Anthony Hamilton and
Shelby Johnson... So I expect a ton from these youngins. Now I know
they can sang....I know this...,but I'm a snobby high falootin
bitch.....so we gon' see......I'm waiting to be impressed. Yeah I said
it.
Yaaaay Tina! I know Ray Angry from Howard, but when I ran into when I was singing with Rapahel at Red Star he was a complete asshole. The lineup sounds great though, and HE GOT ON THE PLANE! Yaaaaaa!
