…Folk dropped a tear while… Give Folk a moment.

This one of them thangs that regardless of age this track this week shows no signs of how old it really is (31 years old). Piano in the Dark still gets heavy rotation in Folk’s iPod.
Brenda Russell been dropping hits on us that will rock us and our children! You dealing with a real artist when their musical compositions in their original context is ageless. You play Piano in the Dark today and you would swear …

One day Folk was riding to work and this joint from Paper Tongues came on and… Oh shyt! Folk loved it! Folk was smitten. This a joint Folk is sure Tha L will enjoy!
Paper Tongues hails from the east coast of North Carolina! The band consists of musicians from various musical backgrounds and it would be serendipity that would lead to a Randy Jackson encounter. The encounter resulted in Randy becoming the band’s …

First off, there are so many places we can go but Folk is going to focus on one small part. Second, what the fvck is a conundrum? Well, according to google a conundrum is defined as so:

It’s officially breast cancer awareness month. So Folk changed up the decor round this bytch to remind you fvckers!
Seriously y’all, check yo’ tiddies! Check ‘em! If you don’t wanna check ‘em let yo’ man check ‘em. If you don’t have no man, then ask a friend to check ‘em. If yo’ azz ain’t got no friends, then let some random azz dude that got a college education with a job who look …

So Folk needed some comfort. Comfort food that is. So when there is nothing but comfort food on the mind, there is one particular joint that gets Folks stomach juices going (typically).
Folk parked up front, jumped in the spot, and ordered up! Folk will have that nice burger with the bacon, lettuce, etc, etc, etc… And you motherfvckers better put some fries in that bag as well.
Hit up the serve Folk’s self …

UPDATED: Added BTR: Widget to the right with interview

For this commentary to be successful, we must first establish some ground rules as to what this commentary is NOT about. This commentary is NOT a discourse on the existence of or belief of God, gods, various deities, or any nude pixie fairies that tickle scrotums on the fifth full moon of odd number leap years. This commentary is NOT a literary work to establish the grounds for the establishment of one faith over another. This …

Gentle whispers from the past sometimes awaken to cause duress
twisted memories in verbal diaries from pages turned their voices confess
quick glances over shoulders to see what is not to be seen
past lifetimes in history these glances can catch one unaware in between
silent siren songs emit from the fog of memories recent and long past
forgotten moments lure for attention, your soul to torture they haunt and grasp
but the strong in mind marches on through the thick clouds of days long …

You saw this shyt coming if you’ve been keeping up with this series over the last few weeks. Johnny Gill is the last of the New Edition group that had a break out career from the whole.
So this week’s Timeless Tuesday Tracks is dedicated to the “voice” of the group that was brought in to replace the Bad Boy Bobby Brown, when Bobby decided to take his show on the road solo. Johnny was kept …
