In 2017 they played at a private party here that we were invited to and missed.😟 The power went out and the piano player and the singer impromptu played Cherish with flashlights and cell lights everywhere.

It's flattering that The Black Music Project's content is starting to show up in articles and videos that tell the story of the unsung Black contributors to American music, but it's ironic that TBMP goes unsung when this happens.03:38 PM - Apr 22, 2024

Two things: 1) Credit people for their research and work. 2) All American music is Black music.

Jumped on Spoutible today after logging onto Post and found that it was closing up shop. My 1st Spout. Looking for fellow music obsessives to follow, share, discover and exchange new (or old) music. Read that Spoutible pretty robust for music exchange. Hope so. Cheers! #Music #musiccommunity

Black Music Project @blackmusicprojectAlways remember, creativity by Blacks didn't happen because of racism and segregation; it happened despite it. Black innovations work hard to overcome racism, but the creative spring is eternal. That's how enslaved people melded various African gourd instruments into the banjo. #banjo #Africa08:03 PM - Apr 05, 2023![Video]()

Michael was a young confidant and extremely talented man at this time. It was really sad to see him spiraling down later in life.

I like that Beyonce is challenging herself and not content with just resting on her laurels, which she could do if she wanted.

Black Music Project @blackmusicprojectOTD 03.03.1975 Earth, Wind & Fire released their classic That’s the Way of the World. Writer Michael Harriot on the significance of that album & EWF: “To this day, every time I hear it, I remember what joy sounds like. What love tastes like. What home feels like.” #earthwindfire #michaelharriot03:56 PM - Mar 03, 2024![A BMP infographic ft. the band Earth, Wind & Fire. Beside the graphic is the following quote: “Have you ever heard That’s the Way of the World? If you are Black, the answer is yes. If you have ever been to a cookout, the answer is yes. If you have an aunt who owns a leather miniskirt or a leopard-print blouse, the answer is yes. If you have ever smelled incense burning in a room with a ceiling fan, the answer is yes. To this day, every time I hear it, I remember what joy sounds like. What love tastes like. What home feels like.” — Writer, journalist, and poet Michael Harriot on Earth, Wind & Fire’s “That’s the Way of the World” from his book Black AF History.]()

5 Threaded Spouts
I will not write a 30-spout thread and just get to the point. Trump's trial is set to begin in March, with a potential conviction by the end of May. IF Trump is convicted before the election, and the GOP has to nominate a new candidate, it will lead to a historic landslide victory for the Democrats.

I've been sharing the following thoughts privately with friends and family for several weeks, but I've chosen to speak publicly now because pundits are out of control. Before I begin, it's crucial to emphasize that complacency is not an option, and the importance of voting remains paramount.

Ahem, white people - read up if you don't know this. And really, use this as your guide to ALL American music. Black artists have been at the center of it from day one.

People need to read more, but then again, in the US, this is what certain people are trying so desperately to withhold from those who would learn by not teaching about the truth in school.

If you’re unfamiliar with Ms. Libba, you should give a listen! Spectacularly unique. Even more so if you watch a video of her play. Play left, strung right, with a banjo like technique.
