Kola is no doubt a world-class musician who has evolved new sounds and combined elements of pure artistry in his lyrics and arrangement. Kola Omo Baba Olopa combines eclectic blend of jazz, Afro beat, highlife, juju, funk and traditional Yoruba music, using horns, guitars and keyboards along with traditional Nigerian instruments in his Sayo Music. Kolas unparalleled innovativeness in his music makes him one of the greatest musicians of this generation. Thank you my brother and more grease to your elbow.

MUSIC is the POETRY of the air !
Blues Legend B.B. King
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT MUSIC ...
"MUSIC gives a SOUL to the UNIVERSE,
WINGS to the MIND,
FLIGHT to the IMAGINATION
and LIFE to EVERYTHING.”
~ Plato
TO STOP THE FLOW OF MUSIC WOULD BE LIKE
THE STOPPING OF TIME ITSELF, INCREDIBLE AND
INCONCEIVABLE!
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,
Richard

NEVER EVER EVER QUIT !
The Power of Persistence
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT PERSISTENCE ...
"Lots of people LIMIT THEIR POSSIBILITIES by
GIVING UP EASILY. NEVER tell yourself this is
TOO MUCH FOR ME. It's NO USE. I CAN'T GO ON.
If you do you're LICKED, and by your OWN THINKING TOO.
Keep BELIEVING and keep on KEEPING ON."
~ Norman Vincent Peale
FALL SEVEN TIMES AND STAND UP EIGHT!
NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER GIVE UP!

SPEAK FREELY !
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT FREEDOM OF SPEECH ...
"If we DON'T BELIEVE IN FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
for people we DESPISE,
we DON'T BELIEVE IN IT AT ALL."
~ Noam Chomsky
I MAY DISAPPROVE OF WHAT YOU SAY ~
BUT I WILL DEFEND TO THE DEATH YOUR
RIGHT TO SAY IT! DO YOU BELIEVE IN FREE SPEECH?

Have a GREAT WEEKEND !
We can change the world with Kindness and Love!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ON THE POWER OF KINDNESS ...
"You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of
this WORLD'S HAPPINESS.
How?
By giving A FEW WORDS OF SINCERE APPRECIATION to
someone who is LONELY or DISCOURAGED.
Perhaps you will forget tomorrow what KIND WORDS you say
today, but the recipient may cherish them OVER A LIFETIME."
~ Dale Carnegie

Are you OPTIMISTIC ?
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT OPTIMISM ...
"OPTIMISM INSPIRES, ENERGIZES, and brings out
OUR BEST. It points the mind toward POSSIBILITIES
and helps us THINK CREATIVELY past problems."
~ Price Pritchett
OPTIMISM IS JOYFUL SEARCHING AND THE FAITH THAT
LEADS TO ACHIEVEMENT. PESSIMISM IS A SELF-MADE
PRISON OF FEAR.

Make A Difference Today !
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT MAKING A DIFFERENCE ...
"Any time you have an opportunity to MAKE A DIFFERENCE
in this world and YOU DON'T, then you are WASTING YOUR
TIME on Earth.”
~ Roberto Clemente

IT DOES!

LAUGH, LOVE, AND LIVE !
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT LAUGHTER ...
We were BORN TO LAUGH!
Babies start laughing when they are only 10-12 weeks old.
HUMOR helps us to think out of the box.
The AVERAGE CHILD laughs about 400 TIMES per day.
The AVERAGE ADULT laughs only 15 TIMES per day.
What happened to the other 385 laughs?
WE CAN ALL LEARN A LOT FROM A CHILD ABOUT
HOW TO LAUGH ~ AND HOW TO LIVE!
REMEMBER TO LAUGH AS MUCH AS YOU BREATHE
AND LOVE AS LONG AS YOU LIVE!
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,
Richard

Merry Christmas !
S.O.M.E. - (So Others Might Eat), feeds and assists the poor and destitute here in the Washington D.C. area
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT PRECIOUS CHRISTMAS GIFTS ...
"The joy of BRIGHTENING OTHER'S LIVES, BEARING each others' burdens, EASING other's loads and supplanting EMPTY HEARTS AND LIVES with GENEROUS GIFTS becomes for us the MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS."
~ W. C. Jones
IT IS THE PERSONAL THOUGHFULNESS, THE WARM HUMAN AWARENESS, THE REACHING OUT OF THE SELF TO ONE'S FELLOW MAN THAT MAKES GIVING WORTHY OF THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT!
