Once upon a time a Republican candidate had to drop out of a big race for calling a brown guy “macaca” and there was like a whole news cycle where everyone agreed that he was a racist asshole and honestly I’d have to google macaca to remember what his name was.

Simply great ... I had not seen this 1992 documentary before: Larry Hogan's "Before You Can Say Jackie Robinson." Veterans of the Negro Leagues (Leon Day, Monte Irvin, Larry Doby, more) tell their stories; Amiri Baraka, too. So many old friends took part. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G29...

I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.

Tonight I'm playing with Time Machine Appetizer at the Riverdale Neighborhood House in the Bronx. It's the last outdoor show of the season for their Music In The Garden Series. Our instrumental grooves should pair nicely with the cool breeze and the setting sun. Free show at 6:30pm!

Poster for tonight's Time Machine Appetizer show, adapted from a 1940s magazine cover, with an illustration showing an old television transmission facility under a cloudy autumn sky. There are trees in the background that have shed their leaves. There is a worker on a ladder cleaning one of the windows while two men in coats watch. The building has a sign above the windows which says "Interborough Jazz-Funk Transmission Facility."
