Sup folks. About 2 weeks ago, I went down to Atlanta to talk with Bishop Thomas Weeks, III. I, like many of you, for the last 2 years have had some questions that I wanted to pose to him.

I’m a day late, but here I am! ha!
Folks, it’s such a great time for gospel music! CD’s are coming out back to back, week to week and thankfully, some good ones! Don’t front, sometimes it’s a little “cry on the “well is it good” front. This week is certainly no different and I’m EXCITED about the new CD “Balance” from Ted Winn. Read the rest of this entry »
