Okay, now we had a larry/willy with a fatherly side headcanon..

but there's one more thing..

Who's that little girl? :^ i mean the one that u draw with Willy, is that just some randome kid or its your character?? Sorry for that question, just curiously.

And also, how do u think Larrywilly will treat a child? is he going to play an tea parties, play with they, or tickle they and etc.??

honesty the little girl started as just a random kid but i'm actually starting to think about maybe making her into a character? perhaps a child he babysits that he's partially fond of?

if your talking about this child that is lmfao as for the other thing yes, he would be unbelievably patient with them, a gentle giant, a polar opposite to how he usually is with well, anyone else. he will play with them tickle them hug and cuddle you name it, if he hadn't become a murderer he would have been a dad ages ago,

honestly if you or anyone else for that matter likes the design of this child feel free to draw her if you like! i'm up for seeing art of her! i've been thinking about naming her shirley? maybe? i dont know i just liked that name,

Herb Alpert and Hugh Masekela - Foreign Natives

Herb Alpert and Hugh Masekela – Foreign Natives

Sunday Jazz Continues; I mean, what else besides jazz are you supposed to listen to on a Sunday evening?

The saga / struggle continues as a dude rides for his freedom with some good jazz playing in the background; rolling the dice, bets odd or even in this thing?

Easter Sunday comes to a close as the devil will oppose the resurrection but we proceed and continue to move to the next section…

That’…

The Pace Report: “A Friendly Conversation” The Hugh Masekela Interview wsg Larry Willis & Stevie Wonder

I was saddened by the passing of the legendary Hugh Masekela this morning.

I don't have kids but these television segments have become my kids and some of them have grown and become adults and have lived a life of their own. I say this because over the years news organizations and publications have used me for post interviews and have asked for footage for artists or groups that I've profiled over the years. I also receive e-mails with comments, questions, and thoughts on what they've seen on the Pace Report.

This is one of those segments I've produced over the last 10 years that I hold closest to my heart because I got to spend and document Mr. Masekela for a week for while performing two nights at the famed Jazz Standard with the legendary Larry Willis. Also, I was able to witness and document the first annual International Jazz Day held at the United Nations Headquarters in NYC.

When I went to visit Mr. Masekela at his hotel suite I was supposed to shoot for 30 minutes. Hugh was so generous he gave me two hours. When I shot some of his performance at the Jazz Standard for just one set, he told me to come and hang at all of his performances. Then the kicker of this segment is when he performs his landmark signature record "Grazing In The Grass" at the first International Jazz Day at the U.N. with the late George Duke on piano, Jimmy Heath on saxophone, Stevie Wonder on harmonica, Christian McBride on Bass, Lionel Loueke on guitar, and the Vinnie Colaiuta on drums.

In this interview, Mr. Masekela and I sat down and discussed his deep South African roots and how apartheid played a role in his music and politics, how he learned jazz music and his influences on trumpet, and how he's used music as a force to bring people together.

Thank you, Mr. Masekela for your gift and your spirit and using your music as a voice to speak on the many atrocities in the world.

-BP
