Yes downtown, in the middle of a performance of Othello we jammed. Chuck Gardner was the perfect host offering food and supplements to the performers.. Take a look at the celebration

Oh I forgot to mention Jane Vandiver. She was spectacular.

It is therapeutic to see the water with no music sometimes

Dick Gregory

All right. For the first time since I have been righting this blog things have been posted as they were given. today I must give a disclaimer. I will still post them but there is language that I CAN NOT ENDORSE.  IN THE WORDS OF 82 year old MR. GREGORY " My mother would have me arrested for some of the language I use" So I must give a disclaimer for some of the things said and how he said them as not being indicative of what we in Peters' Production endorse as good listening material for the youth. Therefore screen it and paraphrase it to your tender ears at home.


Booker T Washington was disrespected in the NEW YORK TIMES and beat to death in NEW YORK

He looked good with full beard and in good shape. I can never forget the fasts that he called for, his running for president , and his Bahamian diet. He stopped short a lady lumping Warren Buffet  into population control similar to others not mentioned. He was self critical of his parenting, and as a husband to a beautiful wife.

Sometimes in  humor the former St. Louisan brought knowledge that was most times  documented  and was outstanding overall. He defines the enemy 98% of  white people as having $1 billion in the bank or assets. No Jewish people were mentioned. He was critical of the opinion directed towards  those who wear their pants down without a belt. "They were never accused of mass murder or rape like Hitler who wore his pants up" He commented . "Those who smoke crack are not guilty of molesting children, It is those who drink alcohol"  There were other opinions that he had for example " The Malaysian jet is on an airbase and the occupants will never get off. It is about $300 billion in international  patents". He went on "Those punks that thought that they shot Malcolm were given blanks by the real enemy and the autopsy proved it by revealing the shots coming down from above that were fatal. "

In wisdom he ended by telling us to take the cancer preventatives D2 and D3 vitamins and hormones respectively diet with SOUP 5 times a week a then to look forward to that cake on the weekend., WHILE DRINKING PLENTY OF WATER. HE DID NOT ADVERTISE HIS BAHAMIAN DIET, BUT CLAIMED THAT HE" OWNED THE OLD LIGGETT AND MYERS PROPERTY". HE SAID " I DESERVED IT FOR THE 4 PACKS A DAY THAT HE USED TO SMOKE". ( ALONG WITH "ONE FIFTH OF WHIsKEY A DAY").  He claimed to have a brother 102 that smoked crack and sold dried on the car Police horse manure as weed. "He sold the REAL S**T".

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A FAT OR OLD H*?. I AM NOT TELLING YOU TO TURN TRICKS BUT JUST FOLLOW THEM AS A WEIGHT PLAN.

 "Do not drink too much nutmeg in your egg-nog. It is too strong of a drug" is what he said ending literally being stopped because he could have spoken until 3 am it was just 1l:15 pm at the Shrine of the Black Madonna Temple. I went to try to get more food and lemonade  from Suzy's catering and kitchen.

Talent Unawares

Sometimes you get what you ask for . At other times you have your wildest dreams realized. This is what happened the other Monday at Bohemios. Talent out of the ears just for the cost of food or a glass of wine.
Look below at some of the talent at a local eatery.
(See Bohemios open mike)      Bohemio's Talent unawares

Yet through the woods we go to Grandmother's House for this.

Bohemio's Open Mike

It has been my pleasure to enjoy the promotions of SCEF and the crew. It is all clean and ALL unique.

Frank Lacy at Garcia's

I got a chance to perform with this musical genius at the old Garcias joint

Here at Garcias with Darryl Taylor and Carl Adams (drummer not seen Hawk Adams)

Here is a rather dated photo of Garcia with his daughter Amelia Milburn (maiden name)

It was about this time that I met Frank Lacy. Whenever he came to town he would run with Robert Phelps sharing music and what was going on in New York including his collaborations with Lester Bowie and Joe Bowie.  He sent our first copy of The Voyage which I butchered at (especially the bridge)first until mastering it - by Kenny Baron. Paul English was very fond of this tune reading it cold at his first sight. I later featured it as a Gazz tune having been given permission verbally from Kenny Baron himself

 He always played trumpet as I recall.  Here he is with others including Benny Golson, Curtis Fuller, Freddie Hubbard, Jacky Mcclean ,  playing trombone. He did not have his name mentioned on Along Came Betty.
