GO GO GROOVIN'


Last night I attended the Fader Magazine Wire party and had the chance to meet some of my favorite cast members — Slim Charles, also known as Gangus; Marlo Black Stanfield, played by Jamie Hector; and last but never least, Senator R. Clayton Clay Davis, famously portrayed by Isiah Whitlock Jr.

The event was fantastic, filled mostly with folks from Maryland and Virginia, though Brooklyn was well represented and definitely in the house. My good friend and I were especially excited about a performance by a band we both love — The Backyard Band, featuring Slim Charles himself. We promised our friends it would be one of the greatest shows they would ever see, and we did not disappoint.



Here's a clip of The Backyard Band at another show



This is me Go Go Groovin’ to the sounds of The Backyard band
Notice the indifference to anything going on around me
The closed eyes for the full sound around the body effect
The biting of the bottom lip to emphasize the feeling of the groove.

I came home to an e-mail from another good friend with an MP3 attached and a short note that read - "You need this in your life"

After hearing it - I realize you need it in yours too – enjoy
