What an amazing 10 days I had surrounding my birthday. From a performance standpoint it was one of the most challenging schedules I’ve faced. The trip to Jena was very inspiring and beautiful. It’s beautiful anytime blacks can get together and its completely peaceful. I appreciate Michael Baisden allowing me to ride and march with him and Rev. Al Sharpton. Most importantly I’m happy Mychal Bell is home with his family right now. But people let’s not relax, because that situation is far from over.
After the rally I drove to Houston for a show. The first show of 7 in 9 days. All the shows came to together, though almost each one had a major obstacle sitting in front of it. In general, there seems to be so much drama surrounding me on the road that most times I’m jumping on stage to escape it. But we will talk about that later. Right now I choose to focus on the positive. So let me briefly mention some of the highlights of my last two weeks.
- standing next to Rev. Al Sharpton
- amazing food at miles jay in Houston
- me having to do an acoustic set there as well.
- Watching the giants beat the redskins, before my LA gig.
- 2 hour plus shows in NY and DC
- my band dressing up in vests for my NY show
- my ny giants cake.
- giving out gifts to everyone who attended my birthday bash in ny
- all the erf fam who traveled in to celebrate
- the video my friends and family made and presented to me.
- doing go go versions of my songs with the lissen’s album release party in dc.
- Peekaso painting a picture of shawn.
- eating 2 turkey burgers from Ben’s Chili Bowl in DC.
- watching the giants beat the eagles with my nephews.
- birthday presents!!!!!
- having my falsetto every night. Trust me that’s not promised
- the smile on my momma’s face as I sang her happy birthday. (I figure since she gave birth to me its her birthday as well.)
- eating a sea bass and sharing desert with Shawn
- spending a few nights in my own bed
So I am headed out of the country on Thursday for the entire month of October. Please say a prayer for me and my band. Im sure I will write again soon.
I'm glad you had such a decent past few days! Take care of yourself in Europe.
