So it was Musical Monday yesterday, but I was too busy procrastinating, big time, about going to the gym to give it much thought – or any thought, for that matter.
One of my friends who’d gone to school with me at California State University, Chico, contacted me last week. We used to hang out when we were both in L.A., but had lost touch for something like 25 years. Whenever there were holidays in L.A., she invited me to her family gatherings. Generally, I was the only non-black person at those gatherings! She told me once that the few times that I was unable to make it, her mother and her cousins would all ask “Where’s Tina?!” They’re the ones that introduced me to green rice and oyster stuffing. Her parents were the best; they always made me feel like a member of their family. I miss those days and hanging out with them.
We were talking about “old school” music. She’d recently been to Rose Royce & I’d been to Earth, Wind & Fire. You just got a dose of Earth, Wind & Fire last week. So let’s give you some Rose Royce this week. (And now to begin mentally preparing myself for the gym TONIGHT!)
