For a final senior project in high school I worked desperately hard on a dramatic scene from "Fences" with a Jax cat named Adonis Boyd. You probably know him. During rehearsals, we just kept missing the boat (I think we were too young at the time to know a certain brand of sorrow and anger.) When it came time for the performance, though, we abondoned ourselves to it and nailed it. We were desperate and brave and it left everyone shaking. A great moment. I can't think of a better tribute to Mr. Wilson ~ he shook our hearts.<BR/> On to the present. So, Al. I wonder if you remember me. My name is Jaimie Wilson and I used to cover arts and entertainment for the T.U. I did some feature covers on you and your group regarding poetry jams years ago. Big Al, right...? It's funny, I've thought about you often because I quit being a reporter and moved onto producing/programming music. It's always a struggle to find a quality lyricist and I've thought of you often. Then one day one of my production partners, Tony Roberts (a.k.a Krescendo) played something for me and there you were again, bold words all over the place. Most recently, I've met a woman named Ok Sun Burkes, who told me about this play, which led me to you. Funny the way the world moves. So, here I am. Here you are. I think something should be done about this. Hit me up, I think we should write and make music together. I'd love to throw some intelligent beats your way. <BR/>jaimiekeiko@hotmail.com.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
