San Diego California: January 2017

Hello Costa Rico, Ireland, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, and all my readers. Thank you!

MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY

A few thoughts from my Sonictapestry site: a retro celebration/reflection blog post on Dr. Martin Luther King Day. https://sonictapestry.wordpress.com/2016/04/18/stevie-wonders-support-for-dr-martin-luther-king-holiday/

We're here in the new year 2017. It's raining a lot this January in San Diego.

San Diego Sports News

San Diego, California is in a very interesting sports city position as of a few days ago. We no longer have our football team the Chargers. Many of the Chargers were not only "paid athletes" they were also responsible community members. As newscasters have reminded us: the Chargers raised money for charities, attended community events, visited hospitals and schools. The team's leaving is an impact that will take time to heal. However, it also sets us up for a new professional football team to come to our city. We are sad to see the Chargers leave. Just asking professional football teams in general: Would you like to play football for us? If so, come on down!

And ya know, as I stated on Twitter, we have other professional teams and sports.

We have a champion indoor soccer team-The San Diego Soccers http://www.sdsockers.com/ ,
a professional hockey team- The San Diego Gulls http://www.sandiegogulls.com/ , a professional baseball team The San Diego Padres-http://sandiego.padres.mlb.com/index.jsp?c_id=sd , and even a professional women's football team The Surge in the wings ready to start: https://twitter.com/DeloresFisher/status/819688957931700224?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet
Twitter

We also have award winning little league teams, high school teams, and college teams.
(Go San Diego Aztecs! Mountain West Champions and winners of the Las Vegas Bowl 2017)

As we continue into 2017, some San Diegans will have to calm themselves and hope for the best.

Singin' in the rain? We're trying.

Starla Lewis Professor Emeritus: A New Year's Gift January 2024 Post 1

We all think about those negative influences that we would all like to forget; yet we often neglect to acknowledge those positive warriors who quietly and compassionately help us shoulder dark toxic angst, while nurturing us back to the light of healthy joy. This 2024 January post is to celebrate one of the positive life warrior-healers that I cherish. If you have one of these people in your life, did you stop and give God thanks for them? (If you don't have one, prayerfully your life will soon be blessed. If you do and you didn't offer thanks yet---how about doing it now?) In the traditional Black American community, we have a custom known as "Give them their flowers (while they yet live)." Selfless fabulous people have invested quality time and positivity into my life. This first post is a huge thank you/shout out and a huge Kuumba bouquet of red fragrant roses to my community minded sistah-- professor Starla Lewis!

Part of A Legacy:Calvary Baptist Church San Diego

Those of you following me on Twitter and at The Center For World Music: https://centerforworldmusic.org/about-us/board/ know that I was a pianist at Calvary Baptist Church in San Diego California back in the day. Charles Ray was the organist/pianist, professor Jean Wesson was the music director. I also played accompanied the Calvary Baptist Church Youth Choir under the direction of Carol Durgan. The church was known as Second Baptist in 1889 on the corner of 1st and B street. It was moved to the corner of then Crosby Street, https://www.calvarybcsd.org/history/ now known as 719 Cesar E. Chavez Pkwy. and at this time is following the leadership of pastor Dr. Emanuel Whipple Sr. And this Sunday in September 2012 Calvary Baptist Church had a Youth Choir Reunion Concert at 3:30. The concert was a musical extravaganza! This post is going viral so I must do a 2024 update: Hello Dr. Buchanon. Thank you for reading my post from 2012. I am honored!!!! For addition...
