Envision this: A lone man in a haunted room surrounded by glowing instruments. What sounds are evoked from a room where Jimi once slept? What are the rewards of those who tend to their god-given talents as they would have their creator tend to their spirits and daily lives? What happens when the artist becomes the conjure man? These are the questions that seem to be null and void in the face of all the glitter and glamour that has dominated most successful artistry of recent years. We seem to be more preoccupied with cultivating our bank accounts than cultivating our crafts. Nowadays, I find my peers more inspired by an artist's business tactics than their artistry. In fact, we do not seem to mind an artistry that suffers in the face of seemingly good business. more artist seem to yearn to own their own labels, etc., than they seem to yearn to master their crafts. No, we cannot allow any more Bessie Smiths to occur, but once an artist owns their own publishing the the question then becomes, what are you going to publish? of course, I am using the word "artist" loosely.

In this phrase, "art" is the word that connects the individual (thou) to their higher self (god) or to that which is universal. Using such a standard, most might become embarrassed. Hailing from the slums of Brooklyn, I understand the struggle. So not once do I say that glitter and glamour is unappreciated. Just that I am not consumed by it.With that said, we create art...
