maverick: Hakim Awolana

by have A wonderful...

Show Notes:

Back in 06′ Courtney sat down with musician Hakim Awolana in AZ. During the interview Hakim and Courtney speak about:

  • His start in music
  • Our youth
  • Jazz, Blues, Hip-Hop
  • Radio programing
  • Another movement?
  • The power of music

For booking visit: Hakim Awolana (The Brassman)

A fan of Hakim’s sent me an email and asked us to post this interview again. Given what’s going on in politics and media, he thought we should revisit.

It’s a long interview but it’s a great because we just hung out and talked. Like old friends enjoying good food, music, wine and conversation we just flowed.

Since this is an old show, the contact information I give at the end of the show no longer works. So I’ll apologize now for any confusion.

Make a go of it (Philly)

by have A wonderful...

Okay, so it’s late and I’m tired but I have to make a deadline. No quicker way than a tidy list.

Challenge: Philly from sun up to sun down

Results:

  1. Ate at Ishkabibbles
  2. Took a quick tour around downtown
  3. Snapped some photos and later uploaded to Flickr
  4. Did some shopping on South Street and purchased wear at Retrospect
  5. Checked out Sounds of R&B at Penn’s Landing, to listen to Ledisi and Lalah Hathaway live and free while enjoying a cool breeze
  6. Took pleasure in a great view, vibes and vittles at Warmdaddy’s
  7. Called it a night

That’s a tough day to beat!

(Details: Including gas, food, drinks and shopping, this trip was less than $100)

What’s wrong with this picture?

Hint: It’s not the sink being low.

We stayed at a hotel in Bisbee that was suppose to be haunted. We waited for ghost all night and nothing.

Almost a year later we went back and looked at this pic and realized that the reflection in the mirror is…

What do you think?

maverick: Gemineye

by have A wonderful...

I know I’m not suppose to have favorites, but one of my favorite interviews of all time was with a fella name Gemineye. He was in Phoenix judging for a poetry slam and I was fortunate enough to get an interview. Not only do I love this show because I love Gemineye but because I got the chance to be the 3rd wheel on this one.

The interview was conducted by Issim (learn more about him soon) while I was left with the editing. So what you get is (what I think is pretty darn good production) a person to person interview mixed with a live performance clips of Gemineye.

To find out a bit more about Gemineye you can check out his Bio and MySpace.

Coming Soon: Yardwork

by have A wonderful...

I love, love, love the beach. The laziness, the sand, the people. I love it all.

Well maybe not all of it. I hate the prep. Not the packing food, music, games, etc prep, but the personal prep. Specifically the grooming, aka “yardwork” prep. It sucks! Not just a little suck but sucks a lot - Especially for someone who is a fanatic.

Today I said enough is enough and called a Dr. Gold and asked if we could meet. He’s game, so we set up an appointment for next week.

Maybe my days of sticky wax and razors will be gone (or at least minimized). Well, we will find out soon enough, so be sure to stop by next Friday to see what the good Doc has for us.


Question: Have you ever tried Laser Hair Removal? If so, how did it go for you, any suggestions, who did you use?


Plugged In: Got Bliss?

Shakti Yoga Studios does!

With summer fully underway, many of us are beginning to feel a bit overwhelmed. Without having the luxury of dropping everything and jetting off to a private island, we need to find a way to get back on track and back in the game.

Knowing that we’re all getting our physical exercise (like good little boys and girls), I just want to give you a friendly reminder that we need to also keep our mind in check and our creative juices flowing. One great (and affordable) way is to try Kundalini Yoga. Briefly, Kundalini is…

The science of Kundalini Yoga provides us with a vehicle that gives us practical tools to help cope with the escalating change in our environment. Kundalini Yoga incorporates a working understanding of the inner science of the mind, body and spirit that will enable you to experience your true Self. A soul filled with unconditional Love, Joy, and peace. [excerpt; www.shaktiyogi.com]
