I'd like to meet:
humanitarians in every form...
Music:
Music is my life and I wouldn't know where to begin. Jazz is what I cant live without. The voice is my favorite instrument... Ella, Carmen, Nina, Betty Carter at yoshi's was my introduction to "real Jazz" at 14! Thank you Auntie Ann! My Mom conceived me to Stevie Wonder and Earth Wind and Fire would be my favorite (if I had to choose). I appreciate the authenticity of English R&B more than the american modern version (Brand New Heavies are back together by the way). I do love Blues and even appreciate Country (you can't sleep on Patsy). I LOVE world music, Brazil, Cuba and Reggae of course...Steel Pulse, Barrington! and Eighties/English Rock is my favorite Rock and let me see... um I listen to classical when I'm trying to think. Oh and I can't forget House.. I mean that deep soulful kind, I'm just learnin it and I'm fallin in love.........
Movies:
I love film! Spike Lee was my intro to independant film. Then I saw Julie Dash's "daughters of the dust" and she took it to a whole notha level with the beauty of the shots and spiritual elements of the character... tied in a little history and you have my favorite movie! Color Purple has it hands down for most lines known by heart. I also like Urban Comedies and Old Musicals like Tammy......
Television:
Nowadays it's simply embarrassing to admit anything that you watch but, I'm guilty of my AV (CSI, Law and Order) pleasures. I can't do soap operas.. too much! but I tell ya reality TV is just as bad. Flavaflav has brought us to our knees in bad taste. I do try to balance it out with alittle PBS and Sunday Morning Gospel... It's all fun
