Martin Luther King Jr.

<p>Being a black man in a white mans body...hmmmm? I was a running back with some wiggle, I was a sprinter with some speed, I can dance and do a mean James Brown impersonation along with a giant Michael Jackson (other than Moon Walk.....damn!!!!!!!!!) I spend most my free time listening to black blues.  I can name every pre 1940 bluesman, every sprinter/running back of note. I have a ton of James Baldwin, Richard Wright and Ralph Ellison. I've read Eldridge Clever. I 've read about Malcomb X. I have CD's by Miles Davis and Louis Armstrong and don't dig jazz. I 'm hip to John Coltrane, Charles Parker, King Oliver, Kid Ory and don't dig jazz. I can name all those HBCU schools like Tuskegee, Howard, Hampton, Jackson State, Grambling etc etc and etc. I know all about those black music. track, football, movie pioneers. Who was the first black to win an Olympic medal for the USA? The first black to gain a 1000 yards in an NFL season?  The first black group to record  a record?  I know the answers. Why?  I don't know and never have figured it out. I'm guessing its because whites can't really run, they had to be taught them blues by blacks, they really can't dance and lack....soul. While I'm an exception to those rules. I'm also intrigued with that whole slavery trip. Blacks catching blacks( a fact that gets ignored) to sell to the slave traders. Then their life in the Caribbean and the southern USA. It's an amazing story.</p>

<p>Here's a tune that Peter Green covered when he worked with John Mayall. This is the original which belongs to J.B.Lenoir. He nails it!</p>
