Good look from the Dwight Garner Paper Cuts blog. The songs are just about what you'd imagined. For all who don't know, I published a memoir about growing in West Baltimore. I conveniently ended it before I dropped out of college, so it could be one of those Black Folk Done Good stories. Didn't want people to hear about my tragic fall into the pit that traps too many black men. That would be journalism. Maybe I'll get a Hallmark special during black history month. Hmm, probably not.

Glad to see P.E. high on the list. Perhaps their recent cut "Harder Than You Think" could be on the playlist for the blog.
Well, Ta, I'm glad you can find some humor in your tragic fate.

Wow, solid list from top to bottom. Welcome aboard!
