UPDATE FOR GAYE ADEGBALOLA ~ JULY 2008




• NEW CD: "GAYE WITHOUT SHAME"
I am proud to say that this solo CD will be released by the VizzTone Label Group on July 22. Produced by multiple Blues Music Award winner Bob Margolin, it is fully steeped in the Blues tradition. Also, "Gaye Without Shame" carries the proud message of self-worth and acceptance. It embodies its title and I am indeed gay without shame. There are 16 cuts and 2 bonus tracks. Please, please take a few moments and check out some of the goodness on my...


• NEW WEBSITE! http://www.adegbalola.com
A total facelift visually echoes the new CD. My webmistress, Samantha Thomason, did a phenomenal job! The homepage features one of the cuts from the CD, "Let It Be Me." There are new sound bytes and 10 video clips of solo & duo performances, workshops & presentations. The new writing (#39) details the mission of "Gaye Without Shame." However, should you want the mission statement in a nutshell~~


• THE MISSION OF "GAYE WITHOUT SHAME"
Basically, I want this CD to share my struggle for acceptance. I want to highlight some of the issues facing my GLBT community -- my personal struggle for self-acceptance, the hypocrisy of the church, folks tippin' on the down low, transgender/sex issues, non-traditional family issues, a comparison of the gay rights to the civil rights struggle of the 60s', love songs -- with women, and, of course, a dose of my humor trademark.


In turn, I want the GLBT community to fully experience the universal healing power of the Blues. The songs reflect different Blues stylings -- New Orleans, Classic Blues, Piedmont, Delta, Jump Blues, Rhythm and Blues, and, of course, a Doo Wop. It has 13 originals and 5 cover songs which include some Blues "chestnuts." Again, for more info, please visit http://www.adegbalola.com. If you like what you hear and what you read, we would be honored to have ~~


• YOUR SUPPORT
We have no idea what kind of reaction this CD might get. If you are my friend, I ask you to buy one in the spirit of friendship. If you are a Blues lover, I ask your support in understanding that the blues was born of oppression. If you are GLBT, I ask you to buy this CD to spread the word and worth of our cause. If you have GLBT family and friends, I ask that you buy one and pass it on to them to say "you are not alone." If you believe in the worth of all people, your support is vital.


You can buy it PRE-RELEASE, RIGHT NOW! at: http://www.adegbalola.com/listen_shop.html
I need your help to get this message out. Please email friends in your address book about this mission.

• INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCES
In April, Roddy and I had a two week tour in Ghana and Togo, West Africa. We were emissaries for the US Embassy. Our brand of Neo-Classic Blues with historical commentary was a hit in both countries. Plus, we had the opportunity to tour much of Ghana. A photo gallery of our amazing journey is under construction and will go up on the website next week.


Roddy and I have been booked for return performances in France. The Blues sur Seine Festival won the Keeping the Blues Alive Award from the Blues Foundation for International Events. This festival has over 75 events in more than a dozen cities. We are delighted to return to the Mantes la Jolie area (approximately an hour from Paris).

A LOVE LETTER FROM JESUS

How are you? I just had to send you this letter to tell you how much I love and care about you. I saw you yesterday as you were walking with your friends. I waited all day, hoping you would walk with me also. As evening grew near, I gave you a sunset to close your day, and a cool breeze to rest you. Then I waited, but you never came. Oh yes, it hurt me, but I still love you because I am your friend.

I saw you fall asleep last night, and I longed to touch your brow, so I spilled moonlight upon your pillow and your face.....Again I waited, wanting to rush down so we could talk. I have so many gifts for you.

You awakened late this morning and rushed off for the day. My tears were in the rain. Today you looked so sad, so alone ... it makes my heart ache because I understand. I try to tell you in the quiet grass. I whisper it in the leaves and trees, and breathe it in the mountain streams, and give the birds love songs to sing....I clothe you with warm sunshine and perfume the air...My love for you is deeper than the oceans, and bigger than the biggest want or need you could ever have.

We will spend eternity together in Heaven. I know how hard it is on earth. I really know, because I was there, and I want to help you. My Father wants to help you too. He's that way, you know...Just call me, talk to me. It is your decision....I have chosen you, and because of this I will wait....Because I love you.
Your Friend,
Jesus

DESIDERATA

Go placidly amid the noise & haste, & remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly & clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. * Avoid loud and aggresive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. * Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Excerise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and eveywhere life is full of heroism. * Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity & disenchantenment it is perennial as the grass. * Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. * You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. * Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labours & aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. * With all it's sham, drudgery & broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.** ... yeah, baby!....love,c
