Did you miss "(Un)Locking D.C. Go-Go" with Thomas Sayers Ellis on my Soul Power Show on Saturday, December 1, 2012? No worries; we recorded it!  The show is now archived as a podcast here thanks to show host "Alski." Enjoy!

Shout out to Thomas Sayers Ellis for such an amazing (and fun) discussion about Washington DC go-go music and culture. We hope you dug it! There are so many people to thank for making it happen, so make sure to also read the "shoutouts" section of the podcast page.

Lastly, TSE and I took the fun picture you see above at his Melanated Writers Collective reading at Cafe Treme on Sunday, December 2 - D.C. go-go style in 6th Ward NOLA. I love the shot because the shining light reminds me of the back of Chuck Brown's Bustin' Loose album cover!
