This was so much fun to read. I also admire Uncle Charlie as an artist and his place as an elder in the game. I'm sure you saw his 'Tiny Desk' - the backup singers were carrying that man!! But I say he deserved to be, just as we should carry the elders we love when they need some uplifting.
This is Y I'm glad, dat even tho Im in mah 60s, I got dem Young Chillren. Youngest 19 n 21. They keep mah Mind sharp. They learn me sumpen alla time. And CHARLIE WILSON and da GAP BAND is still DROPPIN BOMBS in mah Playlist.....Preshated U going WAYBACK for this THROWBACK.

It’s necessary! That’s my parents too. Had me late so I make sure and keep em young! And they snap me right into place
This is masterful.
Thank you so much Rachel that’s so kind
I love your writing. This was well worth the wait.
Thank you so much Alex 🤧 coming from a pro like you that means so much 😌
Not the pro 😭😭 lmaoo we’re all just throwing shit at the wall and hoping it sticks
You drew me in with The Gap Band and then knocked me out with some excellent thoughts, feelings and memoir. Bravo!
Thank you!!! I’m glad you enjoyed :)
