What would you do if you could save mankind but weren’t sure how to save yourself?
Songs in the Key of Life 14: “Street Dreams”
Statistically I should be dead or in prison so either I’m a ghost writer, this is a letter from an upstate correctional facility, or I’ve beaten the odds thus far. There’s always a chance that I might be speaking too soon but why use up brain matter on something that has not presented itself.The environment I grew up in wasn’t all roses but it doesn’t really reflect the person I am today. Oh trust that I am street smart; I’m […]
Songs in the Key of Life 13: “I Can Only Be Me”
How can I not select a Stevie Wonder song? After all, this column is named after one of his best selling albums… As I look back on my life I can’t help but to laugh. It’s funny how we make attempts at certain things in hopes that it will bring us great success. I had my share of experiments that went nowhere fast. I was just telling a friend the other day how I feel like Ralph Kramden from the […]

Songs in the Key of Life 8: “Only Human”
I’ve heard it said before: “opinions are like a##holes, everybody has one”. It’s so easy to give advice to other people and not walk the walk yourself so I embrace my shortcomings. They give me something to look forward to working on. I came to the realization that I am far from perfect. I think this column helps me to put things into perspective since this is the restructuring phase of my life. Some things we do in life are […]
Songs in the Key of Life 7: “I’m Coming Out”
In order to make things happen, you need to advertise. June discusses that subject, to the tune of a Diana Ross classic, in the latest “Songs” column.
Songs In The Key Of Life 6: “Exhale (Shoop Shoop)”
I searched my catalog for the perfect song but couldn’t find one with the content I needed. Every song of interest had the theme but the lyrics just weren’t quite right; that’s until I listened to this particular one. Within less than two years, I’ve lost four of some of the closest people to me. The closest being my mother last year. Yesterday, I attended the funeral of a friend of twelve years. To me, funeral gatherings are reflections of […]
