WELL WELL WELL, WHAT CAN I SAY....WELL I MUST SAY SOMETHING....I HAVE BEEN GOING TO THE WINTER MUSIC CONFERENCE SINCE I PERFORMED WITH MASS ORDER, "SONG- LIFT EVERY VOICE AND SING"... AND BOY HAVE I SEEN THE CHANGE.... I REMEMBER THE DAYS OF THE WMC WHEN EVERYONE WENT TO EVERY PARTY AND SUPPORTED EACH OTHER...NO MATTER IF THAT WAS UR STYLE OF HOUSE OR NOT. I REMEMBER TEAM GAMES, I REMEMBER HUGE WMC COOK OUTS, THAT EVERYONE WOULD MEET AT, EVEN IF U DIDN'T EAT PORK, CAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE A HUGE PIG OUT THERE COOKING ...IT WAS ABOUT THE UNITY, THE GATHERING, AND THE NETWORKING STILL. SO 18 YEARS LATER I STILL GO AND REGISTER, CAUSE AS JESSIE JACKSON WOULD SAY, IF YOU DON'T VOTE, THEN YOUR VOICE DOESN'T COUNT....SO I SAY, IF YOU DON'T REGISTER, YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO COMPLAIN, OR SPEAK. WHILE I WAS THERE, I NOTICE THAT THE ATTENDANCE OF AMERICANS WERE DOWN, WAY DOWN, AND THE ATTENDANCE OF THE AFRICAN AMERCIAN COMMUNITY WAS PRACTICALLY NON EXISTENT. THAT EFFECTED ME, BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES, ON UR TERRITORY ARE MAKING A BIGGER IMPACT THAN WE AS A WHOLE. I SEE ITALIANS IN ONE PARTY, FRENCH AT ANOTHER, PROGRESSIVE AT ANOTHER...AND SO ON...WHAT IS ALL THIS SEGREGATION ABOUT...WHERE'S THE RAINBOW, WHERE'S THE ONENESS. NOW I LOVE MUSIC, BUT ARE WE FADING AWAY, ARE WE GIVING UP, ARE WE BEDROOM PRODUCERS, LABELS, THAT ARE JUST FOR SELF, AND NOT THE GROWTH OF THE COMMUNITY GLOBALLY. WHAT CAN WE DO....AND SHOULDN'T WE ALL STEP UP IN FAITH, NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES LOOK LIKE, IF WE SAY " WE ARE HOUSE" AND WE CREATED IT ON THIS SIDE, CHICAGO, NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY AND DETROIT....WHERE IS YOUR VOICE? WHERE IS YOUR CREATIVITY? YOUR EVOLUTION? WE STILL HAVE MUCH TO GIVE TO THE WORLD. GO WITHIN AND FIND WHAT GOD HAS PLACED WITHIN YOU AND SHARE IT, FIND QUALITY VOCALIST, MUSICIANS, AND CREATE SONGS....NOT JUST NOISY TRACKS.... (NO NAMES...JUST TALKING HERE) FOR A SONG CAN BE REMIXED, REMADE. A SONG HAS A MEANING, A MESSAGE....LET'S STEP UP AND REPRESENT! WHERE IS THE DANCE/HOUSE VOICE OF AMERCIA! KEEP KEEPIN ON AND DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS...CAUSE YOUR NETWORTH DETERMINES YOUR NETWORK! FOR DANCE IS MORE THAN JUST POWDER ON THE FLOOR, IT'S A MOVEMENT! LET'S WORK IT!
BARBARA..............LOVE YOU ALL, MY HOUSE FAMILY!
