It’s been less than 72 hours since we made my ‘Winter Wonderland’ project available online and the response has been nothing short of remarkable. Between texts, phone calls, emails, Twitter and Facebook, and face to face conversations, the reaction has far exceeded my expectations. I’m not much of a numbers person; I tend to judge success based on feel and I feel good about the response. As a creative person all I do is live life and try to find an entertaining way to talk about it in hopes that it will reach someone somewhere and possibly entertain them also. When people say they’ve been reached and entertained, my job is done….the only thing left is to do it better next time.

I even had a nice celebration last night at Park At 14th in DC thanks to my friend and business partner Kunle Oki of SKC.

One of my old songs I said “I do it; with no pen – no pad, no friends – no fans, no Benz – no Jag.” I stand corrected. I do have friends and I do have fans. And I’m thankful for all of you. Even those that don’t fit in either category.
