Hello, my dear friends,
I hope that all of you who are reading my column right now are happy and doing the best that each of you can do with what you have. SMILE! You are on Rambling Rose’s camera! If you still have a living mother with you, let me tell you, you are truly blessed. I am included in the group of people who have lost a mother. We must remember that our mothers are always with us in spirit and we can still celebrate memories of them. For the special day known as Mother’s Day, Rev. Gayle Boyd Briscoe has invited us all to a special event that will be held at the Meyerhoff on Sunday, May 14, 2023. A cocktail reception, silent auction and an Uptown Nights Concert will start at 1 p.m. The event will feature music inspired by Harlem’s famed musical hot spots like The Cotton Club and The Savoy. This swingin’ night of musical sensations focuses on Harlem’s heyday when Duke Ellington’s orchestra was the house band, and Cab Calloway, Ella Fitzgerald and Ethel Waters showcased the classics of the great American songbook. This production will feature the brilliant trumpeter, vocalist, conductor, Byron Stripling; vocalist, Carmen Bradford; and tap dancer Leo. Get all dressed up and I will see you there. Call 443-345-7559 and get your ticket.

Come enjoy the extravaganza from 4-9 p.m. at the Sizzler Restaurant, located at 15544 Pulaski Highway in White Marsh, Maryland. Drinks and dinners will be sold.
