FIDA Thanks YOU! 2/21/16 - The "One of Fifty" Sessions!

Greetings!!!

All I have to say is...WOW!  Electric!  You guys are F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!   Absolutely fabulous!  You ROCK!   The screams, the yells, the shoutin', the stompin', the rejoicin'...Your NRG was crazy Sunday night!   The power of music is truly amazing to witness.   Love of the music for music's sake.   I love y'all for making FIDA the "small, intimate in gathering of like-minded music lovers" just like I intended it to be back @ 618 Fulton St. where it all began in an "attic" back in 1998.  The FIDA members were in full force especially the "original"  Lo Kidz!  Werk!   There were some technical difficulties (some of my CD's were skipping, I hit the power off button by accident when Jackie Wakefield walked in the door....werk Jackie!  The diva strikes again!).  Everyone was SMILING! HAPPY! LAUGHING! Listening and dancing to the music of our lives.  No Shade, No Pretense, No Attitude, No Drama.  Just music, love, dancin' and fellowshippin'!    

Thanks to the snacks and platter of goodies supplied by one of our new FIDA guest, Charli...thank you my love.    Thanks to all who contributed to the bounty (water, wine, jello shots, soda, juice, chips, dip... It's not mandatory for admission...but that's what we do...communal support!).  I thank you and love you for blessing FIDA.  To my two brothers, without these two kats, man...I don't wanna think about it, FIDA DJ Rahbu and Ceasar Kelley for supplying the sound.  I really do love you guys!   Mecca, my beautiful, you handle the door like a "pro" thank you much!    Kyeatta & Renita, to whom this event was dedicated, thank you for being the beautiful women you are, Marco Hall, what can I say, thank you once again for your wonderful work space and being so gracious to allow me to host this event in your establishment.   To the man I watched grow up from a little boy, our FIDA/ThinkSoul, DJ Gabe D!   You socked it and  rocked the kids lovely.  Thank you sir!  Love you much too much! 

If you didn't fill out a member or guest membership application, they will be available at the next event.   Music quiz for those selected for full membership.    Please join the blog, www.flowerzindattic.com/blogspot.

Next event, FIDA Presents "All Vinyl  - The 45rpm Singles" , April 24th.

Once again, thank you, thank you, thank you...all of you...YOU ARE TRULY THE SPECIAL ONES!

Be blessed everyone, be peaceful, be loving, be caring.  Be you!
