| Narrative |
|
| Audio & Video Available: Please click the "Media" symbol under my picture listen to and view all music and video's. These are my favorites: "Hero"
"Something Within" and
"Wade in the Water" and all video's. My Cd's and DVD's are crystal clear and for sale.
Often referred to as the ultimate in entertainment in my hometown, I am greatful to God for being blessed, gifted, and highly recognized so much so that I make a handsome living from my talents and products. I am currently the Minister of Music at Arnett Chapel AME Church in Quincy Florida since 1999 and one of the highest paid and most sought after musician/ singer/ songwriter/entertainer.
I love entertaining on stage, on various recorded media, or just for fun. I learned as time went on, that being funny is apart of my personality. It always happens even if I don't intend to be funny, most times I am. I have to try not to be funny. People laugh with me and at me even when I am not trying to make them laugh. Book me for your next event me at (850) 531-6325 or leave message.
My goal, now that I have somewhat mastered these talents and gifts is to be all that I can be in the music and entertainment industry. For many years (since 1985) I cared for my sick and aging parents until their deaths in 1997 and 2000. Now I am on the road self promoting and performing for a living. I have 4 Cd's ($6 each) and 3 DVD' s ($8 each). Please call to book me at least two months in advance. Fee's are negoiable.
