Hello President Obama, good bye Mr. Bush.

That headline was such a release.  I am finally be proud of the president I have.  Not the president I will have.  Not the president I had.  The president I have.  

I remember 8 years ago on September 11, my English teacher told our class what had happened that morning.  I remember it so clearly.  She said, "This will probably be the biggest event of your life."  I can say now, that September 11 has lost it's title.  As of noon today, I can now say that I have witnessed the first African American President.  Although I did not intend today's ceremonies, I can say that I was a part of them.  What our country has done today will echo

throughout history.  Like I said in my first post, I am finally proud of my country.  

For at least the next four years, we get to hear the name "President Obama."  How lucky are we?  I know it gets better every time I hear it.

Song of the Week: Stolen Moments

OK folks, this week I've chosen what I feel is a jazz classic. It's from Oliver Nelson's Blues and the Abstract Truth and it's called "Stolen Moments." It's one of those tracks that will get you into jazz, and puts you in a trance. On top of that, I feel that it has a melody comparable to "So What" and "Take Five." It features Oliver Nelson on tenor sax, Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Roy Haynes on drums, Eric Dolphy on flute, and Paul Chambers on bass. Hope you enjoy. If you do, buy the album!
