While leaving the 2007 Bluesfest in Chicago I saw a friend of mine Clarence " Little Scotty " Scott , standing on the corner of Mich. Ave. , while talking to him I noticed his voice was all but gone . We had a brief conversation I introduced him to my friend Hatch and I purchased a cd from Little Scotty . Later on in a conversation with my Dad I found out that Little Scotty had suffered a stroke , thats when I realized how
" Little Scotty" must have felt to have been one of the best singers on the Chicago Scene and remain totally obscure to the mainstream music scene . You see Little Scotty was severely disfigured as child but that did not stop him from singing and boy can he sing , that's when I realized how he must have felt like at the Bluesfest , to have gone so far in his career than suffer a stroke and finally stand on the outskirts of the bluesfest like an outcast , that's the "Blues" , "A.C"
7/7/07 don't forget the 7th son !

James Brown : 1933 - 2006
On Xmas day 2006 one of the greatest performers of all time passed The Godfather of Soul , Mr.Dynamite , Soul Brother #1 , Mr. Star Time , The great James Brown is on the "Night Train" to the Heavens ascending to his rightful place and when he get's there he will say " I don't want nobody to open the door , I'll get it myself " and when that door opens they will feel his " Soul power " and James will shout "Say it Loud "and that's when The Heavens will say " I got that feelin " . " It's like losing family " Joseph A .Chapman , long life the funk !
