Pharoah Sanders and Bill Laswell – Morning Tala

 Digital Crate Digging Continues as we set this Music Monday edition off, we're going off!

The sound is accompanied by this good word, getting breakbeat scientific is what occurred, what's going down or will go down Lord willing; we're going off!

Has it always been this way? reflecting on back in the day episodes chilling out in Shawnee Park up in Louisville; the story told / truth revealed per those park bench confessions?

The hustlers would hustle and the players would play! some fail or fell due to tripping words, now making compromises or concessions?

Others? jokers were looking for alibis, amnesia per concussions, no knowledge?

Supposedly but inside jokes were soon revealed now opposition is met; now on the edge. 

Meanwhile good mileage was obtained by the mothership as we chill out near our runway in our remote outpost out off of I-20 in Atlanta! 

Science is dropped per this Pharoah Sanders and Bill Laswell  a track called Morning Tala as we set off this Morning / Afternoon Jazz!! check out the players and the track so you can understand a brotha!!

Herbie Hancock ‎– Beat Wise

Digital Crate Digging Continues on what I refer to as a Terrible / Terrific Tuesday; things can play out either way...

Claiming the terrific outcome, celebrating in advance pulling out the drum after petitions are sent up; we'll have to pray!!

Letting the music play setting off this O-Dog Day Party celebrating life in the midst of the ongoing chaos and confusion...

...caused by Covid - 19; Georgia a test case in reopening the country? reality is not playing so we'll have to keep it real; back in the day up in Louisville Pops told us we had to wise up!! that's the strategy we're using!!

Pops told us to avoid the so called wise and otherwise in this country, stay street wise so we're wise to the whole set up!!

Quits / Stops? naw, not O-Zone? I mentioned we're O-Dog Day Partying listening to Herbie Hancock ‎with a track called Beat Wise; check out the all star players rolling with him plus this funky track that'll make you get up!!
