Happy Mother's Day, my Sisters...

I was in a club in San Antonio, Texas when the music stopped -- the DJ announced that Tupac Amaru Shakur was dead. When I got home, my sons were asleep. The next morning though, because they loved him and his music so damned much, they sadly told me what I already knew.  It was a bonding moment that I can't even begin to explain (so much love and respect for Afeni Shakur!):



The first time I heard this song from young Mr. Blacc, it was a snot-running-down-my-face affair.  My boys said, "Yeah, we knew you'd love this shit, Mom" --  and they were so right!!:



Happy Mother's Day, my Sisters (particularly those of you with sons cuz  -- "for a woman, it ain't easy tryin' to raise a man").  As commercialized as the day always was, and still is -- know that, without a doubt, there's some real love for you there, from those to whom you gave life!

Hey Sis Carolyn! Not quite back yet -- just came up for air to wish all my sisters a Happy Mother's Day. Your very welcome! Mr. Blacc's, beautiful homage to his mother -- and the progression of life -- is so dead-on, it's scary! No longer being a stone's-throw from my boys this Mother's Day makes it even more sobering, particularly since I'm turning 58 in a couple months. Actually, the whole CD is pretty good. His voice takes me back, reminds me of when our male singers SANG!

I'm still on the road (on a pit stop in FL right now, but heading to SC by month's end) and still workin' on a "road trip ruminations" post which, I'm sure will be a couple, to a few parts long, given all that's been running around in my head since I last posted! Be patient with me, mkay? :-D
