From the time I was a little boy I found myself reading history when I had a choice. I read a lot of things, but history had a special appeal for me.
My grandmother spent her whole life working as a maid, a cook and a babysitter, barely scraping by, but still working hard to give my mother, her only child, a chance in life, so that my mother could give my brother and me an even better one.
My template for most songs is 'Is this inspiring?' and with the blues it so often is.
