Musicians, artists- who have a passion to play and create music on a level that not only relates to and communicates the joys and pains of our life experiences in the "nasty here and now" but taps into the realm of worship; that "Holy-Other" realm. Music that enables one to dialog with and be "played" as an instrument by the Master Musician Himself.
Jazz, Gospel, Neo-Soul, Classical, Afro-Cuban, and some with a little Hip Hop flava. Good music of just about any kind.
Comedies, documentaries and dramas.img src="http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f314/dee2176/mobetter blues.jpg" border="0" alt="
Documentaries on PBS on various topics and a good comedy.
The Bible, God's living Word. Books that deal with African -American history, understanding culture and social issues, as well as music.
