Finished reading Lloyd Price’s autobiography Sumdumhonky. His accounts on the state of the world were very amazing whether living in America or Africa, establishing Little Richard or rescuing his parents, creating lower income housing or promoting Muhammad Ali, being ripped off by music business people or unflinchingly telling it like it is about visiting Nigeria vs. his fantasy of seeing Africa. One thing I avoid in this songwriting course is the music of the 50s, which is a delicious pleasure for me but also an acquired taste. Haven’t thought through how to make it compelling for the students but this book has so many awesome stories, it might be the way in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
