Hello ladies and gentlemen, hoping everything is well on your end. It has started to be a very busy week for me, but it is nice because I love going out to all the concerts and events that I am invited to. Shorty and I are having a ball! This is my time of the year. Also, I want to inform you that I will have my new books in the next couple of weeks and will be ready to do some book signings. So, if you or your organization is having an event, please contact me to do a book signing and get this fantastic book in your hands. The title of my new book is:
“Baltimore & Maryland Black History Stories: Who, What, When, & Where 1950s-1980s.” Just give me a call on 410-833-9474.
Okay, let’s talk! My Musical Son, Warren Wolf is really doing this thing. I am so proud of him. Just give me a minute to talk about this magnificent young man. He is a jazz vibraphonist and a multi-instrumentalist from Baltimore. Did you hear what I said? Okay, check this out! He is an international touring musician and has performed throughout the United States; South America; Canada; Spain; Italy; Amsterdam; Paris; Moscow; and many other countries. Did you hear me? I am not finished yet! Check this out! Warren has made 10 recordings, he is a member of the San Francisco Collective, and Christian McBride Group “Inside Straight Ahead.”Check this out! Warren is also a faculty member of the Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore, Maryland and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music in San Francisco, California. Oh Mannnnnnnnnn! What parent wouldn’t be so proud of this man? I think you should go and hear this man perform, if you haven’t already, and if you have, go see him again.

Honey Child! This is my time of the year! First of all, I can’t Hollie Waite for you to invite me to your event to do a book signing and talk about this book and my other two books; all of them are one of a kind, because it is about you. Please don’t be surprised as you turn the pages, and see a picture of yourself on one of these pages, and/or somebody you know with the story behind it.
