The Best Christmas Music Ever…That's Right, Ever!

Fantasy, African American Experience , and Other Things
So this last week has been something of a publicity blitz for me. I was interviewed by Alicia McCalla for her blog here. Then I was on The WREK, an Atlanta based radio station, with Milton Davis and Sharon Robinson. (You can listen to that conversation here.) Both of these opportunities arose from my participation [...]
