I wasn’t planning to insert in this posting the link and image above – “The Dream/It’s Time” from jazz percussionist Max Roach’s “Chattahoochee Red” album. The number begins with Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I have a dream” speech in which MLK yearns for a nation that joins together to create “a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.” It is an ironic phrase to hear on a day where my conflicted nation will witness Donald Trump’s return to the White House as its President.

Unplanned as it may be, I will begin and end this post with the Max Roach link. I am not feeling inspired enough today to contribute my own thoughts.

With All Due Respect,

Art Giacalone
