Life of a musician. When you think you’re broke but then you realize 5 people owe you 💰 for gigs 🙄 #paymedontplayme

Learning the melody to a pop/r&b tune is something every Jazz musician should experience at some point. A few good ones…

-Overjoyed (Stevie)
-What’s Going On (Marvin)
-Can We Talk (Tevin Campbell)
-So Amazing (Luther)
-If I Ain’t Got You (Alicia Keys)

And many, many others!

Clarence Thomas is one of the most pathetic, ironic figures in politics. We must vote y’all. Don’t give up hope. We can not risk a President DeSantis appointing a younger, more dangerous version of Clarence to Supreme Court one day.

If anybody who looks like a potential insurrectionist asks you for directions to the Capitol, send them to Capitol Heights 🤪 #Sept18 #NationsCapitol #GoBackHome
