The very first memory I remember of someone reading a book to me would have to be when I was about four or five years old. It was back when we lived in the small town called Rockville.

For many years, I didn’t really know Rahsaan Eldridge. In the same way that I don’t know much about whiskey. Besides the fact that it goes down like fire, or blues, except the fact that it’s something you live through, listen to, or both. I only knew of him, by way of our mutual friend.
