We are all so busy with our lives and spending time on social media we don’t often get the chance to just stop and breathe.
I pray you are as well as can be expected considering the times we are living in.
Fall is here and that means the holidays. I hope good things come from the quiet renewal time of the season. Perhaps we will all finally get that “thing” done that we were putting off… (whatever it is). Maybe we will read that book, listen to that podcast or finally subscribe to the uplifting youtube channel we’ve been meaning to.
I am so grateful to all of you who have been enjoying my latest music “Chill” and “Summer in the City”. It’s been a crazy and difficult year for everyone, and I am thankful to be able to continue doing what I love.
There is nothing better for an artist than to be appreciated for the kinds of musings that inspire them to create and that are in their heart and mind in the present.
As most of you know I am in the studio at the moment. I’m very excited to say I will have some wonderful new songs coming your way in 2022🌹
Here’s a poem called “Autumn”by Amy Booth (Age 10)
Look at the different coloured leaves,
Swaying gently with the breeze,
Lovely reds, browns and greens,
All waiting to fall from the trees.
When they leave they twist and turn,
Ready to join the masses of fern,
Landing softly on the ground,
You can taste the smell of autumn, all around.
That’s it for now
please remember to follow, subscribe and all that jazz
“Many of us have had more than our share of stress in the last little while. I like to create music that allows folks to take a momentary break and remember to enjoy life… to be grateful for what we have. All of us need to refuel every now and then. It’s what keeps us strong”.
On November 20th the single “Chill” will be available through all major digital outlets.
The platinum artist, songwriter and producer who brought the world the mega-hit “Shake You Down” now brings you this laid back, easy tempo song with a positive message.
“Chill” features a”crankin” sax solo by the legendary smooth jazz staple Gerald Albright.
My talented friend Dorothy Moore (of “Misty Blue” fame) will be gracing us all with a wonderful new release due out in a few months. We are all excited about it and I had the pleasure of writing a song for her to be included in the collection. This woman can really “saaang”. When we toured together, she brought the house down every night. Be on the lookout.
I was raised. I didn’t just grow up. I was taught to speak when I enter a room, say please and thank you, to have respect for my elders and let the elder in the room have my chair, say ‘yes sir’ and ‘no sir’, lend a helping hand to those in need, hold the door for the person behind me, say “excuse me’ when it’s needed and to love people for who they are and not for what I can get from them. I was also taught to treat people the way I want to be treated.
How about you?
This is: “Middle of Harlem”
New designs !
Happy fall…
I hope you enjoy the upcoming holidays with family and friends. Remember that we are all people and (if you can) take the time to lend a hand… do a kind deed… help a friend or a stranger. For us here in “Abbott ville” the holidays represent gratitude… I am grateful for my life… my friends… my family and you.
“Treat each other how you would like to be treated”… That’s is how my parents raised me.
