About Me

What's up, here we are in '08 and all you have to look forward to is more creative and exciting music from me, and in '09 a long-awaited cd/dvd set from Cameo celebrating the 30 years God has blessed us with. I've met a lot of very cool, progressive musicians on this network, and I'm sure some fun collabos will be the result. I'm also deep in the midst of writing my first novel, a crime/love story kind of thing, that will be published in '09 as well and I'm very excited about that. And some movie soundtrack stuff. Take a look at Faces of Funk in my top friends and you'll get an idea. I'm writing and producing the follow-up to my cd The Way, which is still available digitally, and hope to get with a few of the folks I've met. Y'all listenin'? Keep your ears pressed closed to the wall, real stuff happening on the other side. Thanks to all for the love and remember,in all you do, keep it funky.Peace and Blessings, t.

Relationships are funny, man. Trust is the one thing we all want. But in reality, we are fearful of it. We don't trust..Trust, so to speak. We would rather be lied to. Jack said it best in that movie....

A word on our Godfather..

What we, the purveyors of this music like to say is, "the funk will never die". Even as we mourn the passing of our Godfather, we celebrate the utter genius. As a kid, watching James Brown from the ba...
