"The Message Is In The Music" (God Is A Black Man
Named Ricky) is a new look at an old story, the fight of good against evil and the struggle
between love and hate, where the battlefield is the universe and beyond. This is an old story with a new twist, and
although we already know the ending, the road to victory is paved with rollicking laughter, devilish dance and a whole lot
of heavenly sounds!
"The Message Is In The Music" (God Is A Black Man Named Ricky)
will run Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. and Sundays at 3:00 p.m.
About 5 years ago I stopped by to hear your set at the DePaul Music Mart. You performed with a pianist, and
I just happened to be passing through to peruse some sheet music in the basement.
I heard this great voice coming from
the performance area as you did a lunchtime gig there for the shoppers.
Afterwards I hung around for a few moments
and thanked you for such a moving rendition of my favorite jazz, blues, and lounge standards.
At that time I suggested
you add At Last to your set list, and that it would be a great showcase piece for your strong voice and great phrasing.
Lo
and Behold I just got to see your rendition on your website of that plaintive and poignant song!
