You were the perfect Pitbull with the heart of a Gentle-man! And from to Noo~Trybe and all stops in between, you always, always, always had me & Serious Sounds Record Store covered. You share my Dad's birthday and though I'm certain I'm not ready to give up our yearly marathon conversations every April, I REALLY hope you know how very much you mattered to all things Houston record retail and beyond!

Fly high Mike Mack -- and keep cussing anybody out that gets in your way. R.I.Power 🕊🙏🏽

😳 Let me tell ya'll something about this past weekend!!! Mercury in retrograde was doing the most!! Delayed flights everywhere, hotel power going out from 10a until almost 1a (meaning the NEXT morning), cold and rain, a tornado in Sausalito, CA AND disappearing food 😧 BUT when I tell you this crew rolled with ALL the punches and made it look fabulous!!!! And PHHHHUUUUUNNNNN‼️

Can't offer enough Congratulations and Thank-you's to and .martin.bass for giving a wonderful performance and always showing up in excellence! 🌟 That party got poppin' the minute ya'll hit the stage!! 💃🕺

And a very special Thank you to our super gracious Host who called way back in March and told me in no uncertain terms that he HAD TO have Sy Boogie at his Holiday party this year.

Lastly a special love offering goes to the Head Lady in charge at & her entire team for doing all the things throughout the months that made our weekend in the Winter Redwoods Wonderland absolutely magical!!! 🙏🏽

P.S. Sy opened for THEEEEE & Chic‼️

I have zero biological children but over the years I've collected a wonderful array of musical babies. This one showed up with many questions, a resolute but gentle spirit, a thoughtful agenda driven by pure purpose and a quiet determination!

To say that I'm proud of Ms. Candace is one of the biggest understatements in my adult life!!! Diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic leukemia when she was 8 years old and finished treatment at 12, she's been cancer free now 10 years.

She gets to experience another of life's treasures next weekend when she becomes a proud Alumni of Prairie View A&M University. I had to break it to her that I wouldn't be able to attend her graduation ceremony or celebration because I'm obligated to other Music Lady related duties that weekend, but social media family/musical village, please help me celebrate her and her accomplishments.

As I told her......."your future is awaiting your arrival. Let that be your motivation to ALWAYS show up for yourself!" 🙏🏽

Congratulations Ms. 🎉🎓🎙

P.S. And she's got that Music Lady Serious Sounds stare-glare so ya'll watch out. She's got next and she's serious 'bout this life! 😉

Leaving our show in Durham last night I was saddened to get the news that Congresswoman had transitioned earlier in the day.

Many may have not always agreed with her politics but she ALWAYS stood with and found ways to support us!!

Salute to this faithful servant of the Houston community. 🫡 Take your rest. 🕊

We do this dance almost every year. He kinda 'disappears' on Father's Day and ends up all over town spreading his kinda good cheer & being a Dad's to so many others. But I found him before nightfall this time!! Got'cha!!!

So, I'm shouting Happy Father's Day to my top 3.......and my main 1!! (aka Mr. Joe) and to my Ancestors Pop-Pop Melo & Paw-Paw Gus. More than honored & grateful to be ya'lls seed!!

And Happy Father's Day to ALL my men friends who; like mine, aren't perfect but have ALWAYS been principled. You know who you are & as always, I salute you and all your efforts to be great Dad's! 🫡✊🏽💪🏾

Friday Reflections.........took a 3+ hour road trip with Momma Mary Grace Rodriguez earlier this week. Jammed a 70's playlist in honor of Black Music Month. She loved it & I was reminded of one of my favorite photos of my parents.

Now, I'm almost certain Fran Wilson Simpson & were babysitting me on this evening but I'm also fairly certain that as far as my parents & their music was concerned......on this night a time was had‼️
