“THE BALTIMORE NIGHT CLUBS JUMPING WITH LIVE ENTERTAINMENT” Hello everyone! There is a chill in the air, but not too cold to go out and enjoy some great music with live entertainment, have a cocktail or two and dance the night away. Somewhere in between when you are getting your next breathe, have something to […]

Well, my dear friends, we have ended another year together. I am celebrating 14 years with the AFRO and it has been a pure joy keeping you informed about the entertainment and social world news in our community and looking forward to 14 more years. We have had so much fun, haven’t we? This week […]

“SAY FAREWELL TO ANOTHER LEGEND OF LEFT BANK JAZZ SOCIETY” I remember it as if it were yesterday; the Left Bank Jazz Society at the Famous Ballroom on Charles Street. I was a late comer compared to many of the jazz enthusiasts in Baltimore. I got hooked on Left Bank in the mid 70’s and […]

Hello my dear friends. It seems like we have eaten the last of the Thanksgiving turkey; we have sliced it for sandwiches, microwaved it for another leftover dinner, made turkey salad and then taken the bones and crumbs and made soup. But guess what? It is time almost to buy another one for the Christmas […]

Hello everyone, I know you are planning this week for your Thanksgiving holiday next week, but in between shopping for your turkey and trimmings, stop for a moment and relax.

Hello my friends, it has been a long week and it is not over yet. I am still rambling. That includes visiting the sick and shut-ins, such as James “Biddy” Wood in Harbor Hospital, who is, at press time, still in hospice on the 4th floor. He is still wiggling his toes and plucking his […]

Hello everyone, how are you? Oh, I am wonderful, thank you. I am not trying to rush winter or anything like that, but doesn’t it feel like you need to put away the sandals, shorts, and sleeveless tops? Terrible situation! I am not ready to unpack long johns and fur coats. Okay, let’s think happy […]

Hello you all. I hope you enjoyed your Labor Day weekend. Mine was great! I was covering the Tony Williams Jazz Scholarship Festival in Philadelphia at the Embassy Hotel Suite. The jazz festival was out-0-site! I MEAN IT WAS AWESOME! You got to go with me next year. Not enough space to give you all […]

Hello everyone! How are you? Oh, I am wonderful, thanks for asking. We only have a few more weeks to go and it will all be over. I am talking about most of the festivals, very few parades and the crabs, oh well … after Labor Day Weekend, the summer is gone. But in the […]
