Peace ya'll! I've known Lukecage since I was in high School. Damn! Since I was 14 years old. It was at his home on Zanja st. in Pasadena, California that I became a musician. He was the first cat to play me the music of Charlie Parker. He was the first cat to play me Sly Stone's Fresh album. Basically this was the dude that put me on to the really soulful music. We'd sit in his room and go from listening to Fishbone albums to playing the bass and drums. He played sax and drums and a bit of keys. I played bass, guitar and sang. 20 years later we still love the same music. We still make each other laugh. We still think of music as the most powerful form of expression on this planet. We still both understand that music has saved our lives by giving us voice in a place where voices are often silenced. SMILE INSIDE ya'll! You are beautiful because God made you and the ancestors will sustain you. One light, Masauko
