Hello everyone, I hope everything is well with you. Happy Holidays to you. I am very excited that I made it to my 81st birthday on Thanksgiving Day. I feel very blessed. Hey! It is not too late to help me celebrate. Those of you who sent me gift cards, birthday cards and monetary gifts, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will be celebrating until the end of December. You can send your cards to 214 Conewood Road, Reisterstown, Maryland. I will see you soon.
My dear friend and adopted brother, Carlos Hutchins, is ready to retire his “Home for the Holidays; Toy Drive Foundation” after 10 years. So, my friend, let’s make his last one the biggest one ever. Support him, as you will be supporting underprivileged children by attending this event and taking a “TOY” on Sunday, December 14, from 3-8 p.m. at the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Lodge of Maryland, located at 1307 Eutaw Place. Your treat will be the best local live entertainment featuring J’KAR, Shades of Darkness, Crosswind, Phyllies Intruders and DJ Jazz and DJ Shugg. The event is BYOF, or you can purchase your food from Chef Kokeeta and an open bar is included. For more information, call 443-963-5711. I will see you there.
“Great-Balls-of Kitty-kat”! Honey Child! December is busting loose! Live shows all over the place! Check this one out! They are calling it “Holiday Nights in Harlem Gala.” I am just loving this title! It is “dress to impress” in your fabulous attire. So, ladies and gentlemen, that means you should not go to this affair in jeans and tennis shoes. It will be held at the Patapsco Arena, 3301 Annapolis Road in Baltimore, on Friday, December 12, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. This is a daytime event– I love it! A hot meal will be served, and the live entertainment will include Palovations, Crosswinds, J’KAR, and Panama Band. DJ Mike Jones will also be there doing his thing. For ticket information, contact Tee Shirt Brian at the Patapsco Flea Market.
Cityview Live presents live entertainment every Saturday throughout December. They are calling it “Motown Saturdays” from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. On December 6, “Crosswind”; on December 13th, “Style.” December 20 will feature “Palovation” and December 27th is “J’KAR”. So, mark your calendar, we will see you there.
I am leaving you with a reminder that I have a few of my new books on hand, entitled “Baltimore and Maryland Black History Stories; Who, What, When & Where.” It is my last Masterpiece, with over 1,000 photos of you and your family and friends from the old days, and a story to accompany it. Guess what? You are in it. You can order my book on Amazon, from Barnes & Noble, or directly from me with my autograph. Call me at 410-833-9474 or stop by at 214 Conewood Avenue, Reisterstown, Maryland, 21136.
Well, my dear friend, I have to go. I am out of time and space. Feel free to call me anytime or email me at rosapryor@aol.com. UNTIL THE NEXT TIME, I’M MUSICALLY YOURS.
