Solid show yesterday, but I did not play everything that I promised. Time just got away from me and I lost myself in the mix. Started things off with a tribute to Manning Marable, a great African-american scholar, one of a handful who inspired me to do what I do. Marable’s Malcolm X biography is set to be released this week, so I played a song that was recorded in tribute to Malcolm X, Hannibal’s “Soul Brother,” that seemed to fit for this day.
