In 2006, several artists came together for the first Creative Quarantine.  These artists were Maurice Bardford, Karne Buster, Lauren Lyde, James Murphy and Larry “Poncho” Brown.  During this quarantine the artists isolated themselves in order to inspire and motivate each other and produce a creative work environment.  During this quarantine in Poncho’s Baltimore Studio, 19 pieces were created including the one shown being produced by Larry “Poncho” Brown in the video entitled “A Votive Vibe”.  You can see an image of the finished piece below.  Unfortunately, this original mixed media image has already been sold.  Let’s see what’s created during the Creative Quarantine in 2010!

November 9th marked the birthday of Dorothy Dandridge, the first African American actress to be nominated for an Academy Award.    After being nominated for this award, many felt that she was on her way to becoming the first non-white actress to achieve the same kind of fame that had been achieved by her contemporaries like Marilyn Monroe and Ava Gardner.  Although best known for her roles in Carmen Jones and Porgy Bess, Dorothy is also respected for the roles she didn’t play as well.   For example, she turned down the role of Tuptim in the “King and I” because she refused to play a slave.  Unfortunately, due to some bad decisions on her part, interracial marriages that were frowned upon by the Hollywood community, tax problems, a special-needs child, and the inability of Hollywood to create a suitable role for the light-skinned Dandridge, her career never fulfilled its enormous potential.  At this point, her life began a downward spiral that led to her untimely death in 1965.

October 18, 2009 is Chuck Berry’s birthday and I can’t let this day go by without recognizing this Rock and Roll Pioneer.  Below you will find a wealth of information about this African American icon that developed a style of music and performing that would later be  emulated, copied  and stolen by many.

Brief Biography

Chuck Berry, fountainhead of the rock guitar and first citizen of the hallowed halls of rock and roll music, has been hailed by rock and roll fanatics, guitarists and guitar-lovers of every generation as the ‘Father of Rock and Roll’

He comes closest to being the one individual that can rightfully be credited with inventing rock and roll as we’ve come to know it today. He is one of the greatest guitarists and song-writers the world has ever known. His seminal influence on the world of music has been acknowledged by every rock musician in his wake.

Chuck Berry not only breathed life into the rock and roll sound, he infused vital energy and spirit into the rock and roll attitude. His masterfully crafted compositions were an astonishing blend of traditional black rhythm and blues with white country, jazz and western licks, and they transcended race, class and age barriers to capture the imagination of a wide variety of cosmopolitan audiences.

The thumping, foot-tapping guitar licks and the magic of the witty, rapid-fire lyrics complete with sly references to cars, girls and growing-up pains became the anthems of a generation.

Berry’s music has managed to stand the test of time and reverberated through the ensuing decades to excite music connoisseurs even in the twenty-first century. To this day, his songs are essential listening for every true rock fan. Bequeathing his talent with the reverence it deserves, Rolling Stone magazine ranked Chuck Berry #6 on its list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time.
