Hello! Hello! My dear friends, there is a whole lot of duck-plucking stuff I have to tell you about this week! So, I want you to get into a comfortable spot, sit, and take notes.
First, I want to tell you about the “Rhythms & Writing Jubilee,” which will be held at 1947 Pennsylvania Avenue in Baltimore. It is Thursday, October 9 from 5- 7:30 p.m. “Honey Child! You have got to come out and check this out! Hell! It’s not going to cost you a dime. There will be lots of live music with “The Baltimore Pop-Up Jazz Jam Band,” and yours truly, Rosa “Rambling Rose” Pryor-Trusty will be doing a book signing for my new book, entitled: “Maryland & Baltimore Black History Stories; Who, What, When & Where” 1950’s to 1980’s.
