THE WISE MAN EMBRACES NOT REMORSEFUL RANTS. BUT EVOKES RESOURCEFUL RESULTS. FOCUS AND FAITH. THE WISER WAY copyright2012bobbihumphrey

THANK GOD FOR FORTY YEARS IN JAZZ. IT SEEMS JUST YESTERDAY I ARRIVED FROM MY HOMETOWN OF DALLAS, TEXAS TO HERE IN NYC!

FINALLY, SPRING IS HERE. AND I AM SO OVERJOYED. WHAT A WINTER IT HAS BEEN.  FINISHING MY EP "EASTER FLUTE"  AND PLANNING EVENTS TO CELEBRATE MY FORTY YEARS IN JAZZ. THANKS ALL! LOVE, BOBBI

LAST WEEK I HAD THREE FRIENDS TO TRANSION. LOSS IS ALWAYS HARD. YET,EVEN IN THE MIDST OF LOSS, THERE IS A VALUABLE LIFE LESSON TO BE LEARNED.

 

I FEEL THAT WE MUST LEARN TO CHERISH THE BEAUTY AND BREVITY OF LIFE. DURING THIS BLESSED JOURNEY , WE CAN DREAM, DANCE, "LAUGH OUT LOUD". LOVE ON PURPOSE.

 

RENDER OUR SONG. KEEP OUR SENSE OF WONDER. ASK WHY?

KEEP OUR SENSE OF SPIRIUALITY. OUR DEEP ROOTS OF AFRICANISM. A BOLDNESS.

A FEARLESS AND FOCUSED COMMITMENT TOFINISH OUR GOD-GIVEN ASSIGNMENT.

DELIVER WHAT WE WERE SENT HERE TO GIVE!

 

WE CAN CHOOSE TO CHERISH THE TEMPLE, OUR BODIES, WITH PROPER NUTRITION, EXCERCISE, AND PREVENTITIVE HEALTHCARE VISITS.

LASTLY, WE CAN HONOR THE MEMORY OF THOSE WHOM WE'VE LOST BY PRESERVING JUT ONE GREAT QUALITY THAT WE SAW IN THERE LIVES.

 

GOD BLESS,

BOBBI HUMPHREY

"A HYMN FOR HAITI"

LOVE,

BOBBI HUMPHREY

WITH UNIMAGINABLE DEVASTION LEFT BEHIND, THE NATION OF HAITI HAS ONCE AGAIN BEEN DEALT A PAINFUL HAND. AS WE WITNESS THIS INHUJMMANE SUFFERING, THE QUESTION BECOMES, AND WHAT DID, WHAT COULD, WHAT SHOULD BE DONE TO HELP THE PEOPLE IN THE AFTERMATH.

HAITI, LONG IGNORED, LONG RAPED, LONG SUFFERING FOR ITS VICTORIOUS PRIDE OVER OPPRESSION, DESERVES A BREAK FROM THE INHUMANE WINDS THAT HAVE PREVAILED OVER ITS ISLAND; NOT THE KIND TRADEWINDS OF MOST ISLAND NATIONS.

AND NOW, THE FEARED TSUNAMI WILL PRESENT ITSELF. THIS TIME, THE MOST DANGEROUS KIND, THE TSUNAMIS OF THE SOUL.FROM WITNESSING TO MUCH DEATH, TOO MUCH LOSS,TOO MUCH FEAR, TOO MUCH DOUBT, IF THE "STORM" IS FINALLY OVER.

I ASKED MYSELF WHAT COULD I DO? AS A MUSICIAN, I WILL GIVE OF MY VERY SOUL. A SONG.
THEN USE IT TO RAISE MONIES TO HELP THE HAITIAN PEOPLE, THUS "HYMN FOR HAITI"

PLEASE LISTEN TO IT, AND SOON PURCHASE IT THROUGH PAYPAL. I'VE ASKED MY TECH TO READY IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE PEOPLE WAIT!

RESPECTFULLY,

BOBBI HUMPHREY, CEO
PARADISE SOUNDS RECORDS

MY THE TIME HAS FLOWN. AND WE'RE THE LUCKY ONES; TO STILL BE AT THIS GREAT PARTY, LIFE. THE GIFT OF FAMILY, FRIENDS AND MUSIC IS TRULY A BLESSING. THIS YEAR, I PROMISE TO WRITE MORE OFTEN. AND SHARE MORE MUSIC AND PHTOS.

ONE NEW EXCITEMENT IS MY UPCOMING PERFORMANCE IN LONDON. HOPEFULLY, ALSO SOUTH AFRICA AS WELL. I WANT TO SPEAD THE LOVE AND THE MUSIC ALL MY LIFE!

BYE FOR NOW!

KISSES,
BOBBI

....AND WE CAN THAW THESE ICEBERGS FROM THE WORLD'S "WINTER OF DISCONTENT"; HUMANITY'S PERILOUS VOYAGE OF APATHY, LIMITATION, AND RUDDERLESS NAVIGATION.
