Fondly remembering Alex and those salsa socials. I remember me and my bestie Lita going to classes at this location. It was the First Congo Church in Cooper Young. I have photos from 2003 in this room as well as the Saturday socials at Zanzibar/Art Village Gallery on South Main.
Yo... I randomly thought of Chopper Girl and found this video, I hadn't seen this yet. I remember her from Myspace days. I know she got hated on, but her flow was sick!
I'm a white boy from Tallahassee Florida I had the incredible luck of growing up for the last 20 years about 1500 ft through the woods away from one of the most famous blues venues in this part of the country that was active since about 1950. It was called on the "chitlin" circuit. I got to see Bobby Rush the first time when I was 15 and damn he made me a funky cracka!
This man came in my job today and I had no idea who he was by face until my coworker acknowledged him..he said today is his birthday and he just turned 90..and when I say Bobby looked good and got around good for his age I would have thought he was bout in 60s or 70s just aging gracefully..
