Random Thoughts From A Brotha: They Asked Me: Why? I Told Them Its Complicated (P...:   Even on this Sunday morning inquiring minds were asking why? I keep telling them it's complicated! But we'll play the music plus t...

Using The Vision (Part Ten)

 On this Sunday morning  / afternoon as the calendar switches from May to June?  we're still using the vision!

Still broadcasting live and direct from our remote outpost out off of I-20 in Atlanta, this is where and how we're living!

Observant, using the vision; observing the scene  / peeping game  / doing the knowledge listening for when the wolf calls.

How did I work it? I was ready to roll not on my way I was already  thrown out there with them!

From Louisville  / Newburg to Charlotte Mecklenburg  / to London and Johannesburg from Pluto to Mars? we're putting it down like this trying to be brave out there where naysayers hope one falls.

Wannabe weathermakers bring  storms / issues like greedflation check the situation; hoping they would be unendurable but we prayed about them.

We made a break for it, using the vision to drop this good word plus funky sounds? we played them as Sunday Jazz Continues! there's a message in the music, we're trying to talk to the people like Les McCann!

We made a break for it, breaking north going forth with a fresh view / fresh vision! it's a big world / universe somebody will understand! 

We made a break for it but the sister was reluctant to use her vision; she didn't want to get up but said she needed a break.

Now she's gone she's way way out there but it seems to be from hometown to heartache!

Supposedly using the vision but victimized by the fake, found out it's not all love.

So, will it be like, Maybe Tomorrow like the Jacksons? please! check the wars and rumors of wars as some of 

these earthlings continue to push and shove.

Charles Mingus - Better Git It In Your Soul

 Digital Crate Digging Continues as we proceed and continue with this breakbeat scientific business; we were  O-Dog Day Partying earlier  but check us out as Friday afternoon shifts into Friday evening!

We're now Afternoon Jazzing but Fabulous Friday  / Flashback Friday vibes are also exhibited somebody can "see what I'm saying"...

...like I can dig where they're coming from; they can catch us chilling out in our remote outpost out off of I-20 in Atlanta aka a sanctuary of sound. 

Hitting the reset button, were back on Louisville  / Newburg default settings; waves of agony had us on shaky ground...

...aka Shakey Grounds like the Temptations we were coming and going but now respecting ourselves so refreshing ourselves using the music!

Time spent in the lab? similar to a Les McCann Invitation To Openness so therapeutic!

We're chilling out! check out this Charles Mingus with this track "Better Git It In Your Soul".

Check out the players and the track, on this Friday afternoon / evening this is how we'll roll! 

John Handy: Alto sax

Booker Ervin: Tenor sax;

Shafi Hadi: Tenor sax;

Jimmy Knepper: Trombone; 

Horace Parlan: Piano

Charles Mingus: Bass 

Dannie Richmond: Drums

Going In; But It's Out Of Control ( Part Eight)

 Life? it's like one big dressing room, we're out here  trying to get in where we fit in!

Peeping game  /  reading the room some are feeding off the doom in these attack zones but unfortunately we're still going in / getting it in!

The situation is out of control but we'll go for what we know! we got an Invitation To Openness from Les McCann.

Now I'm out here! enjoying this Thankful Thursday its a blessing to be here but it's old news; somebody will understand. Especially on this Throwback Thursday, reflecting on past episodes of going in / getting it in! now we're in it now up to our necks, out here in in a time vortex? It's out of control but check out how the work will be, making a deal like Joe Biden and Kevin McCarthy with the debt ceiling bill? influenced by intuition / my hearts echo in a sport that's complex.

How did we roll / so what's next? still freedom riding like its the civil rights movement so don't start with me is what I told a naysayer!

They'll introduce chaos and confusion, something about Make America Great Again like MAGA Republicans making it rough out here for a brotherman / player!

Even the daughter of chaos was operating on different levels / layers! while going in / getting it in she was spotted in a rush to hide her cursed dagger.

Incriminating evidence from an O'Jays Backstabber? if checked can it br used for solving the mystery?

Otherwise, she'll keep criming like Donald Trump! nebulous situations won't interfere with her swagger!

But the wise and otherwise all up in the spot were wise to the whole set up / already knew her history!

Life Is A Marathon / We Kept On Running PT. Ten

 The Sunday morning service just confirmed my suspicions; life is a marathon but we kept on running!

 Naysayers? "Buking and Scorning" but no bridges are burned we just drop this good word on them plus we kept on funky drumming!

Like Casey Kasem succeeded by Ryan Seacrest per America's Top 40 Hits the hits keep on coming; we're out here stressing these cold hard lessons. 

Polar vortex style? seems that way, but life is a marathon we kept on running but its still foul! but blessings?

Just around the corner, happiness around the bend per the Main Ingredient so yeah! success soon found!

I'll predict it, work towards it trying to manifest it; we're putting it down like this; Its Going Down!

But as we  kick it out here on the spiritual warfare frontlines I'll have to admit I abandoned my post; sometimes I was way way out there, at home in that alternate universe. 

Oh! I know life is a marathon and I kept on running but life took my to local  / national  / international and intergalactic  frontiers but it's just around the corner from the real deal. 

Once again its on! staying evermore? please! it'll be a situation where worse comes to worst!

In the background I'll cue up Dilated Peoples "Worse Comes To Worst My People Come First" !!  per the energy burst we're out there playing but the score doesn't count, now that's a shady deal!

Trying to keep it real compared to what per Les McCann and Eddie Harris check this Sunday Jazz reference!

Trying to keep it real, life is a marathon so we kept on running trying to make a difference!

The Temperature's Rising But It's Still A Cold World (Part Six)

Check us out!! thoughts were scattered from the past to the present to the future; Flashback Friday business is handled..

Bruised / battered by reality;  blasts from the past,  present day realities and anxiety about the future? pondered after the mothership landed...

Lights blinked on the instrument panel!!  change oil soon and check engine lights came on, plus the temperature is rising...

Engines in need of some coolant? in July that's the kind of stuff we'll fool with, but now the calendar moves on to August;  we're in the heart of this summer weather, expect the temperature to keep rising!! 

....but it's not surprising me that it's still a cold world; sometimes feeling that I need to pull the Wilson leather out..

...or maybe even the skull cap or hoodie; thought and fashion police think I'll act a fool like that criminal minded /  going all out..

....thought and fashion police will have their doubts; so what's up with a bro? I'll still go for what I know, dipping down I-20 here in Atlanta; the Chronicles will tell you what it do!! per this Flashback Friday? I'm reflecting on the the Love TKO!! that's word from Teddy Pendergrass!

The temperature is rising but it's still a cold world, emphasized after the drama unfurled; what's the response to them and those? per Flashback Friday? had to laugh at that old school player in Atlanta that said wannabe divas were rolling like Ohio Players Skin Tights!!  but they were snakes in the grass!

The temperature is rising but it's still a cold world, emphasized after the drama unfurled; jokers like Trump mentioning delaying the election, some type of insurrection? we had that math as we Sonic Assault  them and those!! insight is dropped /  class is in session! 

...otherwise known as reality; damn!! who kept interrupting the teacher? now on the test they're second guessing!

The temperature is rising but it's still a cold world!! but, the wise and otherwise shouldn't need the preacher to tell them God is in the blessing business!

The temperature is rising but it's still a cold world!! per Flashback Friday? maybe some should be listening to Les McCann and Eddie Harris compared to what to find out what the real is!

Roy Ayers – Good Good Music

Sunday Jazz Continues on this Resurrection Sunday, check the celebration!!  blessings to you and yours even if you don’t celebrate it…

In other words blessings to everybody! insurrections staged with this sound? oh yes!! sonic assaults are launched with this music,  let me elaborate on it..

Alter egos collaborate on it!! the sound and this good word is dropped, breakbeat scientific principles utilized when we cosmic slopped!!

The madness hasn’t stopped, it’s “on a whole notha level” per thiscoronavirus pandemic!! please!! it’s academic that O-Dizzle dropped house music, funk and he hip hopped…

The madness hasn’t stopped, earlier O-Zone was asked about a doctor in the house, after writing this description he wrote this prescription..

Uncle Roy Ayers said we needed Good Good Music, now we’re jazz funking and O-Dog Day Partying!! Let’s Go!! / Let’s Get It!! it’s conducive to that good good feeling!!

Check this out at Roy Ayers – Good Good Music

Is There A Doctor In The House? (Part Six)

Writing this on a Sunday morning, while sheltering in place due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic..

It's an Easter Sunday, churches will have to step up their technology game, it's all game / academic..

We'll have to play it this way for the next thirty days, no NBA playoffs with  Draymond Green dirty plays? no batter up on the baseball diamond?

We'll have to pray about this thing, due to society's dirty ways!! spiritual playoffs per good vs evil? quarantining / social distancing / staying at home, blood on the homes per Exodus 12 :13?

....on over to Exodus 12 :23, somebody might feel me!! I even  heard  them asking, Is There A Doctor In The House?

Knowing what the deal is!! Dr Fauci and Dr Birx blocked form CNN by Mike Pence? shady dealing / hustle knocking "all up in the house" ?

Knowing what the deal is, doctors  told us to rock the mask due to the coronavirus! we're  just ttying to breathe again, even though carbon emissions are reduced the atmosphere is still  polluted / the air is stagnant.

...like Louisville in the Ohio Valley on a summer day or even down here Atlanta in  the summer, so what it do? worldwide the truth is disputed!! damn!! is there a doctor in the house, hatred is still deep rooted  / fouls are flagrant.

Doctor O is up in the house, the funky drummer with the sonic healing as Sunday Jazz will continue, so check the menu; so what's really real? compared to what? Les McCann and Eddie Harris or John Legend and The Roots versions are heard.

Is There A Doctor In The House? let the healing process began we're dealing with the corrupt once again!! it's legendary!!  guilt by association is what occurred.

Is There A Doctor In The House?  this Resurrection Sunday should remind the masses in the midst of this ongoing crises..

We'll continue to rock the house with this sonic insurrection fighting for the masses with this sonic assault, we're out here paying these prices!! 

Out On The Edges (Part Four)

Random Thoughts From A Brotha: Out On The Edges (Part Four): We're still out here on the edges / outside the box; especially after we were thrown under the bus like Trump did  the Kurds over in Syr...

It's Time To Get Down PT.7

Fooling around with the iPhone,  damn!!  its like it can read my mind. 

Schooling a clown after thoughts are collected on this Thursday?  some wonder what the work will be,  what's on my mind.

It's time to get down on a Throwback Thursday!!  Time has come today per the Chambers Brothers... peep game for the indication..

Throwback / Thirsty Thursday business is handled,  hunger and thirst the motivation. 

It's time to get down!!  Sade asked is it a crime? please!!  ongoing vibrations were another motivation. 

It's time to get down!! feeling the vibrations due to the high velocity vs the slow moving  indication..

It's time to get down!! drama was dealt with earlier, after the invitation to openness per listening to the Les McCann track while cruising through the galaxy; in the mothership?   lights blinked on the instrument panel. 

Atrocities go down to homicides /  genocide and even suicide!! what's up man?  some are in the lions den like Daniel.

Sanctuary cities?  for who?  a shooter rides by spraying the block like some kind of exterminator. 

Sanctions against North Koreans and Russians aren't working!!  some will even be relaxed by a hater. 

Observing these scenes, once caught up in the system / matrix  relaxing with a hater,  but I had to break north.

Swerving!!  it's time to get down!!  taxing those that fake it,  practicing theories concerning a scorched earth. 

Not curb serving,  what's it all worth?  dude said they had an app for that. 

I told Gus and Herb it's time to get down!!  spot me where the haps are at!

Random Thoughts From A Brotha: Les McCann - "North Carolina"

Throwback / Thirsty Thursday Rants and Raves

Who's keeping it real compared to what?  like Les McCann, or  updated by John Legend and the Roots?

Choose your poison, it gets way too real like losing your poise in a Donald Trump rally!!  drama will interrupt like ISIS genocide in Syria and still going down in Iraq!! evil in the roots?

I bring the noise in!! O-Dog knew the deal!! he kept drumming, plus he banged on the piano..

O-Zone knew the deal, I go back,  a throwback but still futuristic!!
moving forward!! one step ahead of intergalactic stormtroopers and Hunger Game Peacekeepers as they creep up on us!!  so what's up with us? the  Mothership / hooptie is barely rolling down I-20 in Atlanta as lights blink on the instrument panel!!
 
Danger zone business is way too real!!  damn!! I'm still hungry and thirsty and reminded of it on this Thursday!! 

Doing the knowledge, trying to find the prognosis, but they say this brotha is more mysterious than an X-file, but unlike Mitch McConnell blocking Supreme Court nominees: please!! who'll work with me? 

Doing the knowledge on a Throwback Thursday: reminded of lethal doses of racism per Mitch McConnell back in Louisville / Newburg days...

Doing the knowledge on a Throwback / Thirsty Thursday: rapped with old dude who was also still hungry and thirsty, he hoped there wasn't lethal doses of radiation administered due to the cancer; mentioned a vegetable diet with flaxseeds vs greasy foods black liquor and weed from back in those days...

I told him right on brother!! meanwhile these rays of light shine *all up in the spot*  where some of my people are waiting in the dark...it was like a family reunion..

Willie Hutch told them *brothers are gonna work it out* on the Throwback Thursday tip but situations were still hot due to the hating: vehicles were in park, waiting on a deal like with Turkey and The European Union...

We come through in the clutch dropping this good word and the brand new funk, no El Chapo drug ballads or *Narco-corridos* 

We come through in the clutch on the Throwback Thursday tip: hungry and thirsty with it,  exhibited by these rants and raves!! dropping breakbeat science for my *peoples*

Clearance Rack Epiphanies (New Years Day Sale 2016)

Oh yes!! 2016 is here!! it’s just in time for these clearance rack epiphanies!! the sale is on!!

Oh yes!! O-Dog is mixing breakbeats and O-Zone fights interference with these good words; once again it’s on!!

Restricting movements?  a devil breaks through these streets shooting up pubs in Tel Aviv, another devil tells you what to believe per the deliberate falsehood; the truth? some are disputing..

Restricting movements? these clearance rack epiphanies confront those acting false in the hood, like NATO a threat per Vladimir Putin?

Swiss movement watches tell the time, no need to remember per Michael Jackson!! some players were missing in action like Michigan State beat by Alabama..

Swiss Movement Les McCann and Eddie Harris type jazz plays in the background as I type these epiphanies; Compared To What? who will understand a brotha?
