A few months have past since my last blog and now she's back in da house! In the meantime...in between time I have been busy shooting a lot of media and now having to edit it. All this in prepration for my next 3-4 episodes. I'd had a lot of plans to do this and to do that...things/goals that never came to fruition. Everything suddenly changed. So I've been just going with the flow. My sisteren from Zimbabwe, Elizabeth Markham, Director of Ntengwe was scheduled to be at an AIDS/HIV Conference in Toronto this past August before joining me here in the Bay Area. Immigrations is not allowing her to leave Zimbabwe without the possibility of not being allowed to re-enter. So as I continued with the flow...in the meantime, in between time, I did get to spend a little time with Oliver Mtukudzi (Zimbabwe's most popular music maker) and his manager Debbie Metcalf after the late show on opening night at Yoshi's in Oakland. I was both seduced and haunted by the sounds of Zimbabwe even though my Sisteren could not be here with me. Nights before seeing Oliver and the Black Spirits, I had a time with other Zimbabwean musicians visiting in Berkeley you'll want to know of.

And I will be bringing it on home to Oaktown with a visit with our own Congressman Ron Dellums and his plans to succeed taking Oakland to the next level while keeping it real!

So you have a preview of what's coming in the next episodes.

Thanks for hanging! Peace Out!
