Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band
After picking up the self titled first album of "Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band" in a church dollar bin which I only copped because I recognized "Cherchez La Femme"...this record has been on steady rotation on the decks uptown...then I found out they are originally from The Bronx...the rest is history...side note August Darnell one of the original members left the band to form the legendary Kid Creole and The Coconuts...I'm sure from the snippets below you will recognize the tunes that have been sampled...enjoy...
This Charming Man
All Good Things...
This is a photo of my roommate Angela's room in the midst of her last days of staying with me uptown...It's been a month since she has been gone and the crib is not the same...I wanted to say thank you for being the best roommate ever over the past four years...I've been in my space for over eight years now and I have had my share of kook ass people live with me...there was the black frat dude but he belonged to a white frat..would leave 40oz and chinese food containers consumed and empty out in the living room for about three days till I flipped out...the japanese girl that has her man move in on me on the low, break my toilet in the middle of the night and I had to fix it...kicked her ass out...it definitely has been a bumpy ride with roomies but then I struck gold with Angie but nothing lasts forever and it was about time at age 32 to live on my own and be able to walk around with my balls out burning mango incense on a Sunday...thanks Ang...

Lost Art...
Recently I was explaining to a friend about all the performers that used to be on the train...and I'm not talking about the old black dudes singing doo-wop or the kids doing flips for basketball money...there used be the dude on the uptown 1 train that did stand-up comedy, the homeless dude that rode a horse made out of a broomstick and two pillows while singing "Oye Como Va", the puerto rican magician on the Manhattan bound E train...his final trick was releasing a dove from a silver plate...there are tons more that I can mention...reason I'm bring this up is because last week these two drummers got on the train while I was reading and rolled my eyes and sucked my teeth being that I'm an old ass and I wanted to read my book in peace on the way home...the minute them doors closed these dudes got busy with it...I was a second away from getting up and doing a quick top rock...I gave them a dollar which translates to $50 bucks on the train and kept it moving...
