[SPEAKER_07]: 他做得更好吗? 哦,是的,他做得很好。 你好你好吗? 很高兴见到你。 是的。 你好吗? 嗨,我在这里。 我在这里见凯瑟琳。 你好。 你好吗?

[Unidentified]: 很高兴见到你。 谢谢。 谢谢。 谢谢。 谢谢。 这不是冷。 它不是。 一切都在我的脑海中。 是的,对,对,对。 明天会很冷。 比寒冷还糟。 这是正确的。 没有人愿意和我一起坐在前排吗? 好吧,你不应该教它。

[Carter]: 为什么不呢? 它会散开。 你还在做自己的事情。

[Unidentified]: 我们开始做吧。 就像剩下的万圣节南瓜,但我很温暖。 谢谢。

[SPEAKER_07]: 哦,我的天哪。 我知道她愿意。 是的。 是的。 她很好。 是的。 是的。 你想找到它吗?

[Unidentified]: 我知道。 我知道。 给我一分钟。 我在正确的座位上吗?

[Carter]: 你在正确的座位上。 好的。 你很好吗? 我很好。 好吧,我要喝点水。

[Unidentified]: 我们将开始。 好的。 是的。

[Crossman]: 。 我们会去接他们,好吧,你同意吧。 我会尝试一下。 只要你靠近就知道。

[Carter]: 检查,检查。

[Crossman]: 他感觉到她。 好的。

[Carter]: 就像淋浴。 我们好,儿子? 是的。 好的。 晚上好,朋友和邻居。 我的名字叫特里·C·卡特(Terry E. 欢迎您在2023年的第一个周五的单词和音乐中进行另一个现场月度演讲。 现在是2月,是黑人历史月,尽管外面有冷冻的寒冷,但我们在建筑物中温暖而烤面包。 多亏了马萨诸塞州文化委员会成员梅德福艺术委员会的慷慨赠款,我们再次在阿灵顿街111号做事。 当然,我们仍在努力注意当地的健康需求和关注点。 因此,掩盖是可选的,也许是建议,但当然不是必需的。 1月16日,我们毫发无损地脱颖而出了MLK庆祝活动。 总体而言,我们对在WMCC赞助实时编程感到满意。 它正在整个梅德福市发生。 同样,我们要求您在晚上整夜时对邻居保持礼貌。 我们感谢团队成员凯尔·道格拉斯(Kyle Douglas)投入的媒体工作。 嗯...也要感谢Kevin Harrington和Medford Community Media在我们通过Medford Community Media Channels 3播放Comcast的指导我们,为Verizon播出47。 如果您在外面看电子设备或电视,请欢迎演出。 您也可以在MCM YouTube频道上在线访问该节目。 新英格兰天气的真正力量肯定是我们今晚的。 这意味着我们必须为当地景观中的不可预见的挑战做好准备。 毫无疑问,您希望看到新的NAACP总裁吉利安·哈维(Jillian Harvey)今晚和我一起进行当地对话。 不幸的是,吉利安(Jillian)生病了,本周五遗憾地无法获得。 我们已经重新安排了她的访问,我向您保证,她急于和我们所有人一起拜访。 因此,计划B已完全生效,这是一种强大而受欢迎的选择。 好的,所以请不要指责我们诱饵和切换。 我过去曾经在Lechmere工作,出售家庭电子产品,并经常被指控。 但是我离题了。 而这次谈话实际上是我和我的客人计划在2022年底之前进行的一次谈话,但生活阻碍了。 因此,今晚与我的朋友和WMCC同事,这个西梅德福社区中心的执行董事丽莎·M·克罗斯曼(Lisa M. Crossman)一起出现在这个平台上。 所以让我告诉你一些关于她的事情。 丽莎是社区的动态倡导者。 她的大部分成人工作生活都将儿童,年轻人和老年人连接到资源,弹性和尊重。 这是她的激情,她真的很擅长。 从2021年12月,她是一名充满活力的新WMCC董事会成员,她很快就被招募为临时执行董事的紧急角色,并开始竞选。 安装新的行政系统,升级通信,并扩大了这个古老的社区住宅的朋友和支持者的网络。 丽莎迅速提高了我们组织的稳定,存在和声誉。 在梅德福及其他地区。 这种专业精神和态度的态度使WMCC董事会得出结论,她是工作的合适人选,临时标签在2022年底被删除。 丽莎(Lisa)作为教练,顾问和非营利经理,为大波士顿YWCA,Shriver Job Corps,Malden Y,Winchendon,Mass。,Mass。和Fitchburg公立学校等组织提供了卓越的领导。 她为在西梅德福的工作带来了丰富的坚韧,智慧,常识,没有胡说八道。 市长办公室,长期存在的梅德福机构,企业,慈善机构和政治实体已注意到并在111号签署了该计划。 现在,我在教堂的主教很喜欢说这是一只不称赞自己的池塘的遗憾的青蛙。 因此,我很荣幸欢迎丽莎·克罗斯曼(Lisa Crossman)参加WMCC的第一个星期五的桌子。

[Crossman]: 谢谢你,特里,谢谢你。

[Carter]: 所以,丽莎,非常感谢你成为第一个替补出场的球员并捡起石头。 比赛时间到了。

[Crossman]: 好吧,我们走吧。

[Carter]: 好的。 因此,我们仍处于2023年黑人历史月的凌晨。 我想让我们进入一个历史悠久的思想框架。 我写了很多诗,讲述了遗产,使命和视野。 与我在举办这些夜晚的习惯一样,我想分享一节经文。 这就是所谓的,我来找故事。 我来找一个故事,讲述了您如何从内脏,从葡萄酒中,从未洗过的和不需要的城市,他们唯一让您拥有的城市中建造这个地方的故事。 但是,您用松树,钉,两极以及持久性建造了它,责任之美和信仰的实质。 我来找英雄和无人看管的故事,传统制造商,领土吸引者以及边界动摇者以及障碍障碍者。 第一个做大事,大胆的事情,禁忌,陌生,勇敢的事情。 我来找故事,您为您的孩子,他们的孩子及其孩子节省的故事。 Anansi的故事,Shaka Zulu的故事,Sheba的故事,Hannibal的故事,Toussaint的故事,Sojourner的故事,Malcolm,Marcus,Marcus,Martin和Medgar的故事。 我们如何过来以及我们克服了什么的史诗般和悲惨的真理。 我来找故事,所有这些故事都迷失,被盗或流浪,因为历史对我来说是不真实的,不能向我透露,不能在没有展示黑人和棕色和晒黑的情况下吸引我。 如此清晰的粉饰很清楚,所有关键种族理论都告诉我,我们几乎正在擦除我们将为付出的代价的过去。 我来找只有诗人才能讲的故事,神奇的故事,这些故事施放了咒语,griot的井中活着的水,遥远的鼓声和遥远的钟声,大海的回答是皇后海角外壳。 咸水膨胀时盐水。 当恶魔倒下时,大天使胜利。 巨人逃离戴维斯(Davids)住的地方,以免他们淹没在一个深处。 军团被征服并被送回地狱。 骚乱以悲哀的大喊结束。 颂歌从Distik到DEL记录。 我来找故事,我不会离开,因为我恳求自己超越自己的伸手可及因为爱弹each。 我来找故事。 我来找故事。 我来找故事。 这就是土地的途中。 让我们与丽莎·克罗斯曼(Lisa Crossman)友好聊天。 那么丽莎,您能否与这个西梅德福(West Medford)社区谈论您的历史?

[Crossman]: 好的。 首先,我要说的是在桌子的这一侧确实有所不同。 但是好,所以我有一个好朋友,我最好的朋友,他来自西梅德福,住在哈佛街。 天哪,你可以在她的房子里扔石头。 所以她把我带到这里。 我们一起上大学。 她把我带到这里参加了篮球比赛。 那就是我的想法,这是怎么回事? 来到这里,看到所有人,每个人都很热情,度过愉快时光真是太神奇了。 我们迟到了,没有一个问题,没有一个问题。 通常,我们只是坐在房子里,走在附近,她就像,我们必须看看谁出去了,我们必须向所有人打招呼。 他们会在门廊上。 因此,天哪,大概是20年前,我第一次认识了西梅德福,而且她的家人就像我的家人一样,他们已经向其他人介绍了我,那是我的第一个联系,从不知道我会...来自中央弥撒。 因此,以为我会在波士顿出去,就像当您在中央群众中时,这只是一个远射,对吗? 您将出来前往波士顿,找到成功和工作以及所有这些。 因此,您知道,20年后,我在这里。 社区中心执行董事。 只是,您知道,整个圈子。 是的。

[Carter]: 是的。 是的。 好的,太棒了。 那么是什么让您首先决定参与社区中心呢?

[Crossman]: 史蒂芬·道格拉斯. 老实说,如果你不熟悉斯蒂芬·道格拉斯,他的家族与该中心有着悠久的历史,并以某种方式、形式或形式为该中心做出了贡献。 他当时坐在董事会,跟我说过一些关于 你知道,出现了一些混乱,并且将会发生转变。 这是在大流行期间。 所以我当时正好没有工作。 他说,你知道吗,你有兴趣吗? 我说,绝对。

[Carter]: 是的,很棒。 因此,您开始在董事会上。

[Crossman]: 我从董事会开始。 是的。

[Carter]: 然后很快过渡到临时董事职位。

[Crossman]: 正确的。 我们对这种情况发生了一个更加意外的事情。 因此,您知道,这是最后一位导演离开的星期五,一个星期一我到位的星期一,就像您知道,我要介入。 我有经验,我们将保持门的打开状态,我们将保持运行状态,直到我们可以弄清楚下一步为止。

[Carter]: 好,好。 好的。 所以。 早些时候,您在这里,您坐在导演的椅子上。 什么可能让您停下来或让您说的是,我到底是什么,尤其是在您的管理人员的早期几个月?

[Crossman]: 噢,孩子。 我不能说是这样,有点像, 我不知道,一是,什么是个谜,二是,有点像,我们刚刚走出大流行,但节目并没有真正进行。 所以就像,你知道,没有人打电话,没有电子邮件发送,没有人进门。 我们被很多东西压垮了。 我们在不同的地方有很多东西。 我可以看到大量必须要做的事情可能会被忽视一段时间。 所以就像是,哦,是的, 当你进入阁楼,打开一些壁橱,打开棚子时,你会想,天哪。 那时我才知道。 我当时想,哦,好吧。 这将是一些工作。

[Carter]: 这将是一些工作。 好,好。 好的。 好的。 所以你正在指挥 WMCC。 如果你愿意的话,你可以尽情享受这个。 到目前为止,您对梅德福大城市的西梅德福了解了什么?

[Crossman]: 我被教导说,一个城市可能很像一个城镇 您知道,人们可以过着不同的生活,来自不同的背景,但是他们都有一个共同的话题。 我认为这是梅德福的独特之处之一,我有奢侈的奢侈品去不同的空间, 在不同的团体和会议等中,与人们交谈,每个人的故事都是一样的。 你知道,他们在这里长大,也许他们还在那个家庭住所,或者他们住在附近,或者他们和他们一起去高中的人约会,他们曾经用岩石扔在篱笆上,或者在西梅德福和梅德福的任何恶作剧都是一样的。 有很多 类似的故事。 他们爱家人。 他们爱他们的城镇,城市,都一样。 而且,您知道,我们只有那种仍在那里的鸿沟或墙,我们希望偷看,嘿,嘿,就像我们一样。 我们有很多一样。 就像,我们如何聚在一起? 对不起。 我看到儿子在角落。 他认为这是今晚的赠款表演。

[Unidentified]: 所以我告诉他。

[Carter]: 好的。 就在你以为可以安全地回到水里的时候。 好的。 这对我们来说实际上是第一次。 我们通常没有任何资助目击事件。 他通常会被封锁在办公室里,他有电脑和游戏,一切都准备好了。 但今晚,他很好奇。 好奇心对于七岁的孩子来说是件好事吗? 是的。 一个七岁的孩子。 是啊,太好了。 如果我让他感到足够尴尬,他最终就会带着笔记本电脑回到办公室。 所以一切都很好。 一切都很好。 快速游戏,我们可能会玩不止一个,但我想做一个快速的单词联想游戏。 所以我会给你一句话,如果你能反驳我这句话对你的暗示,你可以放大一点。 所以第一个词,韧性。

[Crossman]: 韧性。 我认为我们都有韧性。 根据我们的环境和我们来到这个世界的方式,我们中的一些人必须比其他人更有弹性。 但这是人性的一部分。 每天我们起床都会问,我们为什么要这样做? 我们每天为什么要去上班? 我们在做什么? 你知道,我们克服了疾病、悲伤和失落。 我们都很有韧性,你知道,我们所有人都面带微笑,继续前进,继续努力,只是希望度过这一天。 但。 是的,坚韧就是这个词。

[Carter]: 我喜欢那个。 我喜欢那个。 我特别喜欢您提到的,您知道,我们遭受了损失。 我经常说,你知道,这里的人们听到了我这么说,这是工作中最困难的事情之一,尤其是在老年人服务中, 您知道,您知道,有时候您会失去的那种感觉,您知道,您进来的人,而两天前就在那里的人不再与我们同在。 因此,我认为我们俩都有的角色是我们的 对于不一定在任何给定时间感到自己感觉的人们的弹性。 因此,我认为这就是我们俩在这里尝试做的就是保持脸上的微笑,并保持笑话并保持笑话。 您正在做得很好。 好的,所以两个字是公平的。

[Crossman]: 我喜欢将公平视为,这不是一个词,对不起。 公平就像打开门一样,这是一个秘密握手,对吗? 这是当您以为门关门时的那条路径,这是钥匙。 我们在这里有很多机会,因为人们分享了他们的股权。 我不能非常感谢梅琳达很多事情。 我认为这只是我们可以做的最小的事情之一。 作为执行董事 甚至是一个社区人,我觉得那是我的角色。 我很荣幸拥有很多知识,因此能够教某人并帮助他们理解渠道,这就是公平在哪里分享我们的知识。

[Carter]: 极好的。 我喜欢它。 我喜欢它。 而且我知道这可能会改变不断变化的景观,但是您目前对西梅德福社区中心的愿景是什么?

[Crossman]: 噢,孩子。 我目前的愿景是 我想说,目标是中心的财务自由。 我觉得该中心应该享有财务自由。 我们自 1935 年以来一直存在,并且确实有一些沉重的账单。 但一旦我们实现了财务自由,我们就会被排除在资助空间之外。 拨款空间的困难之处在于,你知道,我们受到向制造商的拨款,这通常是联邦政府和其他人,但是,你知道,他们认为语言,他们认为我们如何计算我们的社区, 正确的? 我不认为我们对待商业、社区或非营利组织的方式应该是说,嘿,你得数一下我的人数,你知道,种族是什么,性别是什么,年龄是多少? 因此,只做这项工作就好了,因为我们正在做这项工作。 这就是愿景。 我们的愿景是在这里注入一个青少年空间并成长,将我们的老年人与该空间联系起来,并致力于一些花园空间,并通过它连接社区。 这就是弹性中心工作的愿景,无论该市是否正在资助试点拨款,以及我们是否能够再次获得资助。 我们计划继续这项工作。 我们住在这里的洪泛区,所以我们要确保我们的居民做好准备。 我们觉得这也是一项重要的工作。 这就是愿景。 更多的内容不断添加到游戏中。

[Carter]: 我的意思是,它会继续出现。 继续吧。 所以人们应该知道你是一名篮球爱好者。

[Sumner]: 这是真的。

[Carter]: 好的? 这是非常正确的。 打球和执教,篮球运动给了您什么帮助您指导 WMC 活动和关系?

[Crossman]: 哦,哇。 因此,我曾经是一名教练,裁判,球员,并在高中级别执教。 让我有信心工作,因为这是一个以男性为主的空间,排名第一。 因此,这使我有信心网络,领导,知道何时跟随,知道何时注意,改变计划,何时需要招募更多玩家,进入游戏,如何增加能量,并长期绘制。 我们只是不参加游戏和玩。 我们有一个战略计划,即我们将如何赢得比赛。 而且,如果您是一名好教练,那么您就可以计划A到Z,因为您永远不知道游戏中会发生什么。 以及如何管理时间。 时间是篮球的重要因素。 在游戏的最后30秒内,可以在那一刻可以改变很多。 因此,是的,它为我的一生做了很多事情。 我知道这对许多其他人来说已经做了很多事情,包括Brianna。 团队合作,学习相处,对吗? 找不到弱点,确保您正在建立所有这些。

[Carter]: 好吧,好吧。 回到单词关联。 支持。

[Crossman]: 一个社区。 社区对我来说就是这个词。 我觉得我在社区中找到了很多支持,尤其是在这里。 而且我觉得我试图找到可以支持的空间。 是的,有时候,我没有。 我只是没有。 然后,您知道,一位大四学生会走过门,开玩笑或让我发笑。 我就像,好吧。 让我们开始参与其中,否则我将从弗朗西斯(Francis)等城市的某人接到电话。 她有这个主意。 我们就像,好吧,走吧。 我们喜欢更改整体预测。 这就是我构图的方式。

[Carter]: 好东西,好东西。 通讯。

[Crossman]: 我会说,这是我的头,而不是我的心。 我被埋葬的一件事是绝对,积极的电子邮件。 因此,我更喜欢拿起电话,亲自与人们交谈,出现在某人的办公室。 所以我更喜欢面对面的交流。 我认为这很重要,多年来我们已经失去了。 20年前,我们将预约去见某人。 你会跳进去打个招呼。 而且我有点想念那些时代。 我不知道我们是否可以把它们带回来。 但是我认为沟通很重要。 我认为我们缺乏变焦。 您真的不能通过Zoom告诉某人的角色或他们的精力。 而且我认为亲自和交流确实很重要。 这就是我们彼此了解的方式。

[Carter]: 我只是想知道那是不是加勒比海在呼唤我。 因为我现在确实需要在那里。 好的。 所以也许我问这个有点太早了,但无论如何我都会问。 那么到目前为止,您作为这个家庭的一员最喜欢的时刻是什么?

[Crossman]: 哦,伙计。 夏季篮球绝对是我的名单。 篮球在我心中。 我们联盟有40个女孩,篮球让40个女孩相处并一起打篮球是闻所未闻的。 所以那是一件事情。 高级团体真是太神奇了。 对我个人而言,这对我们来说是另一个好时机,并认识所有人,认识墙壁上的人们。 你知道吗,好友克莱顿曾经对我说,我曾经说过,很高兴见到你,他就像,很高兴看到,对吗? 所以这样的事情只是坚持我。 绝对是事件,MLK Day是一个很大的一天。 只是为了拉开它。 因此,这些是一些亮点,但是我可以说我可以一直坐在这里告诉你,撕开我喜欢的一堆次。

[Carter]: 好,很好,很好。 那么,您对这个计划的年度我们现在正在参加哪些新举措呢?

[Crossman]: 因此,圆圈,弹性中心是总体。 我们将与该小组中的城市和合作伙伴一起进行的弹性枢纽工作。 我期待着这一点,我们聚集在一起,找到一种共同努力的方法,并缩小了所有差距。 在其中,我们将使用称为Circles USA的计划进行一些反贫困工作。 将是马萨诸塞州的第一章,这非常令人兴奋。 老实说,一些团队合作。 团队合作在我的驾驶室里。 亲爱的。 它非常靠近,亲爱的。 因此,您知道,希望添加更多编程,也许可以改变空间并向我们的青少年打开空间,这些人正在寻找一些有爱心的成年人,对编程有些价值。

[Carter]: 好吧,很好。 好吧,这是另一个词。 行动主义。

[Crossman]: 噢,孩子。 勇气,我想说的是勇气,对吗? 有很多话要说,这就是我所相信的。 这是我所看到的对的,这也是我所看到的不正确的。 正义,非正义,并坚持这一点。 我认为这是一个艰难的空间。 你真的必须知道你是谁,你相信什么,并知道你的过去是什么。 这样做。 我认为,你知道,很多人都去了,但他们没有进去。 大多数人并不是为了荣誉而参加的,对吧? 那些在那个空间里的人都明白这一点。 但还有很多其他人在外面战斗,只有荒野中的声音,你知道,在山上,鹅卵石在山上。 但他们还是这么做了,然后钦佩这种训练质量。 所以

[Carter]: 空间,在这个物理空间中,并非一直都感觉到。 因为我们周围有很多与行动主义说话的说话,这与看到需要某事的人们说话,这与鲁迪·史密斯(Rudy Smith)说话,看着警察局,并说,需要有黑色的代表。 当他的主管对他说时,我什至不知道该怎么做。 在他把他放在街上之前,他赢得了追随者,并成为警察局装饰的警察之一。 是好友克莱顿。 布克和伊芙琳·泰纳(Evelyn Tyner)开设了那家美容店,并把姐妹的头放在一起,这样他们就可以回家并为他们的哈宾斯(Hubbins)变得美丽。 即使以更现代的方式,亨利·马洛林(Henry Malorin)也是这座城市的冠军。 这是沃利(Wally)是这座城市的冠军。 这是一个文档。 只是真的记录了这里发生的事情,我们是谁,成为谁,我们的能力。 确实有很多事情说明活跃和敬业,所以我喜欢您对此的描述。 因此,当您考虑合作和青年发展时,您提到了以及弹性,社区建设,接下来会发生什么,到目前为止,您在早期任职期间学到了什么,这会为这些决定,这些审议提供信息?

[Crossman]: 合作伙伴关系?

[Carter]: 是的,你知道,是的,合作以及一些计划举措和一些你真的非常想做的事情。

[Crossman]: 我认为倾听,聆听方面,这确实很重要。 在我年轻的时候,我会进来,就像,我看到这需要改变。 我要更改它。 我要改变这一点。 我要改变这一点。 我的尽职调查是坐下来听的。 如果我看到撞车事故即将来临,我会崩溃。 我们只是看到了这方面的路,并通过它进行了交谈,以便我们下次加入。 因此,这将是其中的一部分。 我对景观有更好的了解。 并挑战一些合作者和合作伙伴,以通过我的镜头来看一下 看看我看到的东西,让我们对此进行对话。 我很高兴地说,也许我错了,但是有时候,当我们在工作中陷入困境时,我们正在做工作,我们非常接近它,我们经常看不到我们的方式重新影响。 别人或其他人可能会感觉到的东西。 因此,您知道,这次挑战人们通过不同的镜头来看一下我们可以将针刺的地方。 老实说,有很多人。 时间移动如此之快。 是的,已经一年了。 时间移动如此之快,我们甚至没有在协作和合作伙伴关系上划过表面。

[Carter]: 绝对,绝对。 那里有很多东西。 我想你在从事这项工作的时候就已经看到,有多少人是站在局外人的角度看问题的 等待邀请或等待某种类型的倡议,可以将他们带到谈判桌前。 在这方面我们真的很幸运,因为很多正在等待的人,我们已经能够邀请他们并开始让协作工作顺利进行。

[Crossman]: 对,对,而且,你知道,值得赞扬的是,人们一直在等待,看到正在发生的事情,正如他们应该的那样,正如他们应该的那样,而且,你知道,感到足够舒服地说,就像,好吧,让我们试一试。 因此,我们重视这些机会,并给我们第二次和第三次机会,让我们把事情做好。

[Carter]: 是的,还有第二次和第三次机会。 好吧,所以这有点个人化。 您可以将其带到任何您需要的地方。 但是,刚认识你的人在了解你的哪些方面会感到惊讶呢?

[Crossman]: 哦,男孩。 哦,天哪,这会变得个人化。 今天讲这个故事,您会惊讶地知道我生了在家里的赠款。 在家里,它是为医院准备的,但是伙计,他马上开了枪。

[Carter]: 好吧,我想在某个时候,要么是我,要么是你会说一些会把男孩追进山里的话。 他知道他的暗示。 但是不,不,但是完成,这很有趣。

[Crossman]: 是的,我只是,分娩的阵痛不是我所预料的。 你知道,作为一个女人,你听到了很多却不知道,对吧? 我想我对疼痛有很高的忍耐力,因为,你知道,我的朋友离开了 带她女儿去某个地方,她一关上门,她就要带我去医院,他不是刚出来,门被锁了,救护车无法进入,他们试图破门而入我拨打了 9-1-1,我不知道该怎么办 这很有趣,但大自然会自行处理。 他直接射了出来,把他抓在了我手里。 所以他的出生证明上写着家庭住址,这是我们拥有的一件非常酷的东西。 我开车经过房子时说,嘿,这就是你出生的地方。 哇。

[Carter]: 哇。 哇。 我有四个兄弟姐妹。 这并没有发生在我们中。 我们是医院的婴儿。 太棒了。 太棒了。 因此,我想翻转脚本,因为显然您和我,我们真的很紧密地合作。 而且我花了很多时间来面试您。 我想给你转盘是公平的。 那么,您可能想对我提出什么问题或问题?

[Crossman]: 嗯,我会问...哦,看,我还没有准备好。 我希望这是我准备的。 当然,这是一个洗衣清单。

[Carter]: 是的,我知道。 这就是我获得自发性的方法,你知道吗? 我什么也不告诉你。

[Crossman]: 我要说的是,作为在梅德福(Medford)发生这种艺术和文化繁荣的一部分,您对西梅德福(West Medford)的设想是什么?

[Carter]: 是啊是啊。 我认为有几件事。 我当然... 我很感谢市长和市领导让我担任这个职位,但更多的事情,比如,我不一定能说出什么是类比,但更多的是像桂冠诗人这样的事情。 你知道,更多的事情以一种非常刻意和尖锐的方式向人们暗示,艺术在这里很重要。 你知道,文化在这里很重要。 艺术空间和文化空间这两个空间的多样性非常重要。 我们将找到推广它的方法。 现在,我参加了比赛 我认识一些与我竞争获得诗人桂冠的人。 所以我可以说,证据确凿,毫无疑问, 没有偏袒,当然也没有裙带关系。 我和任何人都没有关系。 所以这确实是我认为的公平公正的竞争,其中任何一个人都值得这样做,并且很可能在未来这样做。 所以就是那样的事情。 它确保每个人都知道在这个艺术和文化空间中, 人们将根据他们的能力的优点来考虑,正如金博士所说,不是他们的肤色,而是他们的性格内容,无论是他们的艺术品格,他们的文化知识,他们的灵感,可以这么说。 人们会因为他们带来的东西而被考虑,而不是因为他们与桌布的颜色相同。 是的,我想就是这样。 我希望这座城市的艺术和文化对每个人都有意义。 每个人都去博物馆、历史协会。 每个人都去图书馆。 每个人都会去神秘大道上即将开业的新艺术中心。 每个人在所有这些空间中都感到受欢迎,因为这很重要。 我认为其中一件事,你和我已经讨论过很多次了,那就是对我们来说,成为艺术和文化的宝库以及这种欢迎的方式是多么重要。 这是非裔美国人社区绘制的空间。 毫无疑问。 当你来到这里,你就会看到那段历史。 你可以在这里举办派对,你不会遮盖照片,你不会,你知道,这一切都不会发生。 你需要明白,无论发生什么变化,这是这个社区将继续保持的一个非常重要和不可或缺的元素。 变化就像死亡和税收一样,是一个常数。 这将会发生。 但我们是否能够以友善、公平、开放和非排他性的方式应对这种变化? 我认为西梅德福社区对变化非常非常有耐心和宽容。 现在,这并不是说我们不要坐下来谈论它,并抱怨一下。 我们当然这样做。 但我们这样做的方式并没有告诉人们,如果他们来了,他们就会被赶出去。 他们会被赶出去的。

[Crossman]: 绝对正确。 是的,这个中心,这是该中心最伟大的事情之一,我们是保守得最好的秘密之一。 但不幸的是,人们在来到这里之前就已经对中心做出了决定。 我听到了很多关于从未来过这里的人的意见。 所以,这就是问题所在,你知道,今年我们真正要敞开大门,欢迎人们,亲自来看看,来见见人们并亲自做出判断。 仅仅因为你走在这个空间里,看到墙上有黑人和棕色人种,这并不会让你变得不那么重要。 它不会让任何人减少。 而且,你知道,如果你走进去,你感觉到一些东西,你感觉到里面有一些东西,你知道, 那么这就是我们必须触及核心的事情。 我们得谈谈。 我们必须为此努力。 所以你在这里感觉很舒服,因为,你知道,这里一直是、也将永远是一个温馨的空间。

[Carter]: 是的。 是的。 我我总觉得。 我们的社区有责任,梅德福这个不断变化但仍然至关重要的方面,我们有责任做出挑衅。 我们不能坐下来不说话。 我们必须说出自己的想法,因为如果我们不这样做,其他人也不会这样做。 没有其他人发言,传统上没有人为西梅德福社区发言,它必须为自己说话。 我们仍然必须这样做,尤其是当我们周围发生所有变化时,为了让人们知道我们是谁以及我们看重什么,我们必须为自己说话。 我认为那是, 可以这么说,你的三角帆的切口就是其中的一部分。 向人们发出挑战,你必须对此发表讲话。 你必须对此说些什么。 如果你认为它是好是坏,或者无关紧要,你就必须说出来。

[Crossman]: 这是真的。 这是真的。 这个中心的独特之处之一,是一个社区中心,对吗? 这是一个非营利组织。 它不是由城市经营的。 这不是城市计划。 社区要照顾好自己。 不管谁说这么说,这就是社区中心的那个使命。 您知道,如果您在梅德福(Medford)社区中,那取决于您的决定。 而且,它只是说出,您知道,这是一个更高的观念,您知道这一切都会放开,放开工作,放开压力,所有这些事情消失,并彼此照顾,并确保每个人都在好的,签入,并且您知道,希望不要让别人的碗中看到什么,而是要确保它们足够了。 您知道,我们确实需要回到那种空间,而且我并不是在挑战任何人。 我只是说,我不住在这里。 我住在马尔登,你知道我的意思吗? 我在这里没有投票,我在这里什么都没有。 我和我的儿子,我们在这里付出了很多时间,这不是我们的社区,而是我们将其作为我们自己的人,我们希望梅德福的其他人在做同样的事情,对吗? 时间,金钱,精力,努力,无论您要付出什么。

[Carter]: 是的,我将以一种方式挑战您,那就是当您说这不是您的社区时,我会反对。 因为我认为如果您问我的老年人,他们曾经是我的前辈 你知道,不是你的老年人。 你拥有,我租,你知道。 但是他们会说她是我们中的一员,她是我们的一员。 我认为,让您掌握社区中心的掌舵人的安慰确实对我来说是无与伦比的。 你知道,我们必须回去很长一段路 要在一个可以指出一个领导中心并说的人的地方,他们明白了。 他们真的明白了。 不建议我们没有人。 我们在社区中心工作了。 但是我认为我与我的计划的人交谈的人的共识是,她明白了。 因此,当他们相当定期绕过我并直接去您的办公室时,我不会感到难过,对吗? 那不是高级事物吗? 他们不应该和我说话吗? 但这只是表明已经达到了一定程度的舒适度,这在您的几个前任中,我不会命名名字,但人们知道我在说谁。 不会发生。 这种舒适程度永远无法实现。 再说一次,我们的领导能力很棒,所以我不是要把任何人都扔在公共汽车下。 但是,如果他们错过了公共汽车,车轮滚过它们。

[Crossman]: 是的,他们很客气。 我儿子去了圣。 雷的。 所以每天我走路去接他。 你知道,我们在这里花钱。 我们去买食物,所有这些食物都去沃尔格林,乘火车前往波士顿。 因此,我们是社区的一部分。

[Carter]: 绝对地。 是的,我的意思是,我知道,这不是秘密,我住在伦道夫。 我每周几天在这里做这项工作,但是我在纪念碑街上让人们在神秘河路上的姑姑,对吗? 并经营市长不奔跑的城市部分。 所以... 我从来没有觉得我在梅德福没有一席之地。 我假设梅德福(Medford)也没有真正的感觉,或者当然,就诗人的获奖者而言,这种感觉永远不会发生。 他们会说,好吧,您甚至都不住在梅德福。 但是很明显,他们认为我在他们可以说的,好的,很酷的地方增加了足够的价值。

[Sumner]: Wow, thank you, thank you, thank you. So let me say, it's an honor to be here. I've never been in this building, never been in this space. And we were watching the live stream upstairs. So Miss Lisa, we have some things in common. I play ball. I used to coach basketball. I stopped at refereeing. But I'm so honored to be here at the beginning of Black History Month. And can I just say, I am thrilled to see bodies in these chairs. I was praying for the best, but ready to prepare for the worst. I was going to sing to my husband. And I was like, it's OK. And the cameraman, and we were just going to get our little thing going on. But you guys, we are going to make this worth your trek in the polar tundra, OK? So thank you so much for coming out. And if it's okay with you, we're going to take like a little musical history tour. Is that all right? I thought so. And so I want you to feel free to chime in and jump in. We might learn something. So as the narrator at the House of Blues, now I actually worked at the original House of Blues, the blue house in Cambridge. Any of y'all ever gone to that one? Yes. Did you ever come to the gospel brunch? Yes. If it was a female, it was probably me. I used to have dreadlocks, honey, the gray. It's a new look. But that was me so most likely um, so it's been a blessing to do this. I'm an educator I love it and I love engaging kids with music and things So we're gonna take a little history tour because I learned some things and I'm hoping we all learn some things tonight and enjoy the music as we go so Yeah, Mark, we've been around the world, y'all, but it's good. New England, too, but we've been some places, especially Mark. So we're going to start off by thinking about, you know, enslaved Africans came here early, you know, 1500s, they documented in the 1600s. And what happened was when enslaved Africans first came here, the first music that they really shared or participated in what's called work songs or field hollers because, you know, that gave them some energy and camaraderie with the folks who were working the lines with them. And then after the field hollers, what came next really was spirituals. So we're going to start off with a little spiritual. And this is one that has a multiple meaning because, you know, Wade in the Water, when enslaved people were escaping, you gave messages in the music because you weren't allowed to really talk to each other. So we had to use talking drums to give messages. And then they try to take away the drums. So we're like, OK, well, we can make rhythm with whatever we got. But the song is Wade in the Water. And I'm going to try to stay cute without my glasses. Last Tuesday, I turned 60, so I might just keep it 100 if I need to. If I need to, just trust me. But anyway, so the song goes a little like this, and there's a message in the music. It said, wait in the water. Wait in the water, children, wait in the water. God's going to trouble the water. See that host all dressed in white? God's going to trouble the water. The leader looks like the Israelite. God's going to trouble the water. Wait in the water. You can sing if you want to. Wait in the water, children. Wait in the water. God's going to trouble the water. see that band all dressed in red God's gonna trouble the water it looks like the band that Moses led God's gonna trouble the world if you know it sing it come on Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y' If you don't believe I've been redeemed, God's gonna trouble. Just follow me down to the Jordan stream. God's gonna trouble. All right, big finish, everybody. Let's sing. Wade in the water. Wade in the water, children. Wade in the water. God's gonna trouble the water. I said God's gonna trouble. Keep on moving. God's gonna trouble. Keep on believing. God's gonna trouble. Don't give up because God's gonna trouble the water. Yeah. Yes. So one of the things we have to, we tell young people and they don't want to believe it, but all the American music forms originated from the blues, to keep it real. Like we didn't deal with classical, but country, all of that came out of a foundation of the blues. And so, you know, we went from spirituals and we have the blues. And now the blues originated in the deep South around the 1890s, 1860s. Okay, here we go. It's early. I had to go early. I know. So we incorporated spirituals, and work songs, and field hollers, and shouts, and chants, and rhymes, simple narratives from the African-American culture. Now there are many different types of blues, including country blues, delta blues, and classic blues. which usually featured women out in front of bands such as Legends, Ma Rainey, and Bessie Smith. And they were the first real recorded artists to really, their music went national because music started being charted and recorded. And so we're going to do this classic blues song called Backwater Blues. And this song was really about the, it was written in 1927, released in 1927. in response to the Great Mississippi Flood. Anybody ever heard of that? The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927? Just one? Well, here we go. Can y'all hear me okay? We're gonna learn some things tonight. You heard of this? Okay, listen. This was terrible. So in 1927, it was the most destructive river flood in the history of the U.S. 27,000 square miles were depths of up to 30 feet over a course of several months. So this was bad. And approximately 500 people died. I'm surprised more people didn't die, but maybe there weren't that many living. I don't know. But anyway, this was Bessie Smith, and this is Backwater Blues. And y'all are so good, I might give y'all some choreography. Here we go. When it rained five days and the skies turned dark as night, yeah. When it rained five days and the skies turned dark as night, yeah. There's trouble taking place in the lowlands at night. I woke up this morning, can't even get out of my door, no, no. I woke up this morning, can't even get out of my door, no, no. There's enough trouble to make a poor girl wonder where she wanna go. Can I put your hands up and be my thunder and lightning? When it thunders and lightning and the winds begin to blow. Come on, thunder. Come on, lightning. When it thunders and lightning and the winds begin to blow, yeah. There's thousands of people and ain't got no place to go. Now, can y'all clap your rhythm? Here we go. Try this. Backwater blues, don't call me to pack my things and go. Yeah. ♪ Blackwater blues, don't call me to pack my things and go, yeah ♪ ♪ Cause my house fell down and I can't live there no more, no more ♪ Yeah. listen again i'm grateful to be here this is the first time i've been able to sing in a little while because these little viral things that are going around the ones that ain't covet they can kick you just as hard y'all know that right and they hold on for a long time so stay well stay well vitamin c all the good stuff you need to do um so this is that was the blues And now you know right after the blues, and even at the same time as the blues, jazz. Any of y'all jazz fans? I know, I know, right? So now jazz, it's a type of music of African-American origin, of course, characterized by improvisation, syncopation, and usually a regular or forceful rhythm. Excuse me. Instrumentation is often brass, woodwind instruments, and piano. And a standard rhythm section would often be comprised of keyboards, a bass, and some drums. So we thought y'all might appreciate this little ditty by Duke Ellington. And you might have heard it with one of my favorite singers of all time that I did not even hear about till I went to college. A little lady named Ella Fitzgerald. Y'all remember her? All right. So y'all so good, if you want to jump right in, you just... And y'all are going to get to hear Mr. Copeland, the maestro, kill up on this piano, all right? It's called a dominant thing if it ain't got that swing, if y'all ain't figured out yet. All right, here we go. It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing. Do-wop, do-wop, do-wop, do-wop, do-wop, do-wop, do-wop. It don't mean a thing. All you gotta do is sing. Do-wop, do-wop, do-wop, do-wop, do-wop, do-wop, do-wop, do-wop. It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot. I just give that rhythm everything you've got. I dip it out and do it, don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing. Do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I. It don't mean a thing, give it up for Mark, if it ain't got that swing. Do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I. It don't mean a thing, all you gotta do is sing. Do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I. It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot. Just give that rhythm everything you've got. I mean a thing if it ain't got that swing. Do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, yeah. Do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, one more time. Do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I. Yeah. Woo! Woo! You have no idea. I'm so excited. I really thought it was going to be me and my husband. Y'all are not only here, but you are singing. Y'all are vibing. This is going to be fun. Let's keep it going. OK. So of course, there's spirituals, there's blues, there's jazz. And at the same time, what was happening was gospel was kicking it in the background. Because gospel is really just spirituals and blues put together. How many of y'all know that? because the father of gospel music his name was Thomas A Dorsey and he was a jammer in the blues okay but his he got his heart broken his wife and his child died in childbirth and this song that he wrote was actually as a response to his extreme heartbreak but it became known as one of the like like I feel like it's the funeral song now. And this was one of Dr. King's favorite songs. In fact, Mahalia Jackson sang it at his funeral. Anybody know what song this is? Come on. Talk back to me. Y'all don't know, really? We just learning a lot here. Text in the mail, huh? Say it. Mahalia Jackson sang it. That's one of her major ones. Yeah, but no, y'all. Precious Lord. Precious Lord, take my hand. lead me on let me stand I'm tired I'm weak And I'm worn through the storm, through the night. lead me on to the light. Take my hand. Precious Lord, and lead Yeah, we're going to stop there. Because I don't want to start. Yeah. Yes, Lord. Yes. So Precious Lord actually came out in 1932. So that was right around the Harlem Renaissance. That was right around that time. And this is one of my favorite. jazz standards but I did a little research and this was written by Billie Holiday and it was funny because she wrote it in response to asking her mother for some money or something like that knowing that she had supplied a lot of what her mother had her mother was like I ain't giving you nothing and she said well God bless the child that's got his own I said you know what that sounds like a good uh lyric to a song and it goes like this Them that's got shall have. Them that's not shall lose. So the Bible says, and it still isn't news, said your mama may have and your papa may have, but God bless the child who's got his own, who's got his own. Well, the strong gets more while the weak ones fade. Empty pockets don't ever make the grave. Said your mama may have, papa may have it too, but God bless the child who's got her own, who's got her own. Money, you've got lots of friends hanging around your door. But when it's gone and your spending ends, they don't come around, ain't gonna come around, don't seem to know you no more. Rich relations, they're going to give a crust of bread and such. You can help yourself, but you better not take too much. Said your mama may have, and your papa may have, but God bless the child who's got his own. God bless the child who's got her own. God bless the child who's got his own. Who's got his own. Thank you so much. So this next song is a gospel song technically, but it was written originally as a children's song back in 1933. But it became a civil rights song. It came to be, I think, first came into prominence sung by Sam Cooke, believe it or not, in 1964. And this is like one of my anthems, because my mission, I say that I want to be light and provide love and laughter through music, education, and care. But anyway, I believe we are all light. And so you can sing this with a two-year-old. You can sing this with a 102-year-old. And for me, it still has significance, because we are all a light. Some might be a little flashlight. Some might be a high beam light. Some might be a whatever. We're gonna have to give it a, so we can, let's see, what beat can we give this? I wish my husband could play something for me. Pull out the tambourine, honey. All right, here we go. So here's a little rhythm lesson. It's on the two and the four. So if you're rhythmically challenged, I still love you, but I'm gonna help you out, okay? So you're gonna tap your foot on the one and clap on the two. Here we go, try this. You're gonna go stomp, clap. There we go. Come on. Stomp, clap. You got it. Stomp, clap. Stomp, clap. If y'all can try to hang in there with that. Thank you, honey. Here we go. This little light of mine. Come on and sing. I'm going to let it. This little light. This little light of mine. Sing it like you mean it. I'm going to let it shine. This little light. I'm going to let it. I'm going to let it shine. Let it shine. Let it shine. Come on, everybody. Sing, everywhere that I go, everywhere I go, I'm going to let it shine. Everywhere I'm gonna, I'm gonna let it shine. Oh, everywhere I go, I'm gonna, I'm gonna let it shine. Let it shine. Let it shine. Let it shine. Let's do one more verse. You can't blow it up. You can't blow it up. I made this up. I'm gonna, I'm gonna let it shine. You can't blow it up. You can't blow it up. I'm gonna, I'm gonna. You can't blow it. You can't blow it. I'm going to let it. I'm going to let it. Let's finish up. Let it shine. Let it shine. Let it shine. Sing let it shine. Let it shine. One more time. Let it shine. Let it shine. Let it shine. Let it shine. All right, here comes another little history lesson. Let's see if y'all know it. I was going to bring candy and give it out, but I was like, ain't nobody going to want no candy. But anyway, here you are. Again, I'm so excited. This is a song that was first actually written by this amazing Black woman. But you know how it happened back in the day. Black people write an amazing song. And then somebody not Black decides that, ooh, I'd be liking that. And so they're like, let me do this. And then everybody going to like it. And I'm going to make a lot of money. And we never seem to remember who the other person was. So I'm going to sing it by the first person. And I won't even tell you who it is. And I'm going to ask y'all to tell me who it was, see if you know it, all right? Here we go. You ain't nothing but a hound dog, been snooping around my door. You ain't nothing but a hound dog, been snooping around my door. You can wag your tail, but I ain't going to feed you no more. You told me you were high class. I could see through that. Yes, you told me you were high class, but I could see you through that. And daddy, I know you ain't no real cool cat. You ain't nothing but a hound dog. I've been snooping around the door. You're just an old nasty hound dog. I've been snooping around my door. So you can wag your tail, but I ain't gonna feed you no more. Get on out of here. All right. Who knows? Million dollar question. Who was that? No. That might have been somebody in this century that did it. But the first person. Yeah, go say that. Right. Big Mama Thornton. Yes, yes. You get to have some snacks. They're right in there. Just for you, that's okay. Even if you cheated, listen, you got the right answer. So it's, yes, it's all good. But this might be the version y'all recognize. Remember this one? You ain't nothing but a hound dog, crying all the time. You ain't nothing but a hound dog, crying all the time. Well, you ain't never in a rabbit hole, ain't no friend of mine. That's enough of him. All right. Black History Month. Y'all know who that was. But you know what? I saw the movie. He grew up around a lot of black folks. No wonder he sounded black. Y'all see that movie? I was like, oh, that makes sense. He was all shouting at church and everything. Would you say he was really black? Oh, he thought he was. Oh, OK. I was like, woo. I was like, woo, somebody got some tea up in here about Elvis. I didn't know that one. All right, so we're going to move a little bit forward. But what'd you say? I love this. It's just like my class. It's like class, you know? Yeah, that's right. Interactive. You know, whoever talks the most learns the most. So I want to hear y'all. So we move up through. All right, so let me see. So next coming up was kind of like what's called R&B. So that was kind of like blues combination with rock, because Elvis became more of a rock kind of song. But in the late 50s, 1950s and 60s, now we got to say the 19 in front of it. Ain't that crazy? Some of us have been alive for a while. You got to put all four numbers. OK. All right. What year were you born? I'm like, OK. Wow, OK. In the late 1950s and 60s, a new sound was spreading across America. That was called soul music. And actually, soul music is like a combination of rhythm and blues and the gospel vocal style. Now, this music spoke to the heart and moved the soul. Now, over in Detroit, Michigan, there was something called Motown happening. Barry Gordy was a brilliant producer, writer. And he was like, we're going to turn this thing out and make it excellent. And we're going to make it. enough that it can cross over and everybody can like this music. So this first song we're gonna do was by a Motown artist. And this was actually their number, this was their first number one song. And it came out in, let's see, it came out in 1965. It was their first number one hit. I know y'all know this and you can at least give me a little sway. Here we go. Come on y'all, here we go, come on, here we go. If you know it, come on, sing it. I've got sunshine on a cloudy day. Oh, I can hear everybody in the choir singing. All right, when it's cold, when it's cold outside. I've got the month of May. Sounds good, y'all. Come on, let's sing it. Well, I guess you'll say, you'll say, what can make me feel this way? My girl, my girl, my girl, talking about you. I've got so much honey, the bees envy me. got a sweeter song than the bees in the trees. Come on, y'all. Sing along with me. Well, I guess you say, what can make me feel this way? My girl, my girl, my girl, talking about my girl. All right, we should probably end it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. I haven't had to talk and sing at the same time in a long time, y'all. Hold on. This is when you say, OK, open up your notebook to this page here, and y'all work it out for the next five minutes. But hold on. I had to go with my. my sister known as the Queen of Soul, as the 1960s brought protest songs and protest music. This song was originally, became famous by Otis, well, he wrote it. Otis Redding wrote this song, but she took it and just like, so most people assume it's her song, but there actually was someone else who put it out first, but we give RiRi all the credit for this one, y'all ready? I'm getting a little, What you want? Baby, I got it. What you need? Do you know I got it? And all I'm asking is for a little respect when you come home. Hey, baby, when you come home, mister, I ain't gonna do you wrong. Why you gone? I ain't gonna do you wrong, cause I don't want to. And all I'm asking is for a little respect when you come home. Baby, when you get home. Now. I'm about to give you all my money. And all I'm asking in return, honey, is give me my purpose when you get home. Baby, when you get home. Now. If y'all know it, come on and sing with me. Ooh, your kisses sweeter than honey. And guess what? So is my money. And all I want you to do for me is bring it to me when you get home. Baby, whip it to me when you get home. Hey, come on, sing along with me. Say R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Find out what it means to me. R-E-S-P-E-C-T. What? Take care of T-C-P-L. My little respect. Oh, a little respect. Hey, I get tired. I keep on trying. Said you're running on a full line. I need your respect. When you get home, I know that I want it. Respect. When you get home, come and go back to the bridge. Try it again. R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Find out what it means to me. R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Take care of TCP. Oh, yeah. Respect. Hey. Woo. Yes, yes, yes, yes. We having us a good old time. I'm having a good time, y'all. I'm having a good time. I feel like you're at my private party here, and we're just jamming. All right. So you know the 60s was a time of protesting, and songs were coming out in the 60s about what was going on in the world. And this is a song that was written in protest to the Vietnam War. And I know y'all are of the right generation to know where we going with this. Our brother Marvin. If you know, y'all can sing along. Here we go. Mother, mother, there's too many of you crying. Brother, brother, brother, there's far too many of you dying. You know we've got to find a way. to bring some loving here today. Father, Father, we don't need to escalate. You see, war is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate. You know we've got to find a way. to bring some lovin' here today. Sisters is first. Picket line, sister. And picket sign, sister. Don't punish me with brutality. Come on, talk to me so we can see what's going on. What's going on. Tell me what's going on. What's going on? Hey. Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, yeah. Mother, mother, everybody thinks we're wrong. Oh, but who are they to judge us? Simply because our hair is long. I love when I have my long dreadlocks, but what can I say? You know, we've got to find a way to bring some understanding. here today. Now say, brother, picket lines, brother, and picket signs. Don't punish me with brutality. Come on, talk to me. So you can see what's going on, what's going on, what's going on, what's going on, what's going on. I want to know what's going on. Yeah. I got to make some choices. Let's see. Well, you know what? Let's do Bill Withers because I love that song. It just makes me happy. When I wake up in the morning. It's always a blessing to have some feel good music and Bill Withers. He was a master songwriter, Grandma's Hands. And this is a really beautiful song that I've seen after-school kids do this with little sticks and shakas. And my granddaughter, who's 18 months, loves this song. So this is a universal favorite. So I hope it blesses your heart, too. And it goes something like this. When I wake up in the morning, love, And the sunlight hurts my eyes. And something without warning, love, hangs heavy on my mind. But then I look at you, and the world's all right with me. Ooh, just one look at you, and I know it's going to be, if you know it, jump on in, a lovely day. Thank you, Christian, for backing me up. A lovely day. A lovely day. When the day that lies ahead of me seems impossible to face. When someone else instead of me always seems to know the way. But baby, but then I look at you, yeah, and the world's all right with me. Just one look at you and I know it's gonna be a lovely day. A lovely day. A lovely day. Hey, hey, hey, it's gonna be a lovely day. Yeah. So yes. So I didn't know what the crowd might be in terms of demographics, but we're going to go here because it's a teachable moment. So did y'all know like back in the 70s, so that was 77. But in 1978, there was a group called Chic, and they brought out this hit. called Good Times. Do y'all remember that? Do y'all remember that song? But here's the thing, right? We're going to consolidate time, because we want you to understand how there were these young kids in New York City, and they were like scratching with turntables and all that good stuff. And they started sampling before you had to ask permission. And they just, they took this hit by, Chic. So just to remind you what it sounded like, this is the hit that came out by Chic. If you know this, raise your hand. It goes like this. Good times. These are the good times. Yeah. Leave your cares behind. Leave your hands. These are the good times. Come on, if you know it, sing it, because we need some more good times around here. Good times. All right, got some dances. Come on, y'all. These are the good times. All new state of mind. These are the good times. But y'all know what happened, right? So this is what it became. I said a hip, a hop, to hip it, to hip it, to the hip, hip hop. And you don't stop rocking to the bang, bang, boogie. Say up, jump, to the rhythm of the boogity beat. Ha! And now what you hear is not a text that I'm rapping to the beat. And me, the groove, and my friends are going to try to move your feet. You see, I am, I say Special K, and I like to say hello to the black, to the white, the red, and the brown, the purple, and yellow. But first, I got to bang, bang the boogie to the boogie. So up, jump the boogie to the bang, bang boogie. Let's rock. You don't stop. Rock the rhythm that'll make your body rock. Yeah. Woo-hoo! Yes! Yes, hunty! So that song was released in 79, but on March, not March, whoo, January 5th, 1980, that, Rapper's Delight became the first hip hop single to reach the Billboard Top 40. That was huge, that was huge, huge, huge. And it signaled that hip hop ain't going anywhere. Rap and hip hop, as much as people said, oh, it's a fad, guess what, y'all, that was 1980. It's 2023, it's still rocking. And it became the top three in the UK. And guess what, honey? It was number one in Canada. My husband went to college in Canada. We have a great passion for Canada. We love Canada. All right, so we coming down to the end, y'all. But I want to do one last song because this is one of my favorite songs of all time. I'm a big, big, big Stevie Wonder fan. I saw Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin when I was like nine years old at the Boston Garden is what it was called at the time. And I just said, when I grow up, I want to sing background vocals for Stevie Wonder. And I, oh Jesus, do I not have the lyrics? I'm gonna fake my way through this one. Okay. That's frightening. Okay. I mean, I've sung it a few times, but you know, it's different when you gotta stand up and fake it. Well, you know, we gonna make it work. We gonna make it do what it do, baby, okay? And I always said I wanted to be Aretha Franklin at that time, but Aretha had a rough life, so I'm thankful that that didn't happen, and I wanted to sing background for Stevie Wonder. So we just gonna sing a little bit of this and send us on our way, and just know that I'll be loving you for always. My husband and I, we've been married for 37 years. Yes, 37. Now, you know what? I'm just, I can't believe that I do not have this on, but you know what we're about to do? Because you know there's a friend of mine called Google, and he just, he just, ooh, he just makes things happen, y'all. So, can you believe that? Of all my songs, this is my favorite song. That's probably why I didn't bother to put it on it, because I thought I could fake it, but no, uh-uh, baby. We're going to get Stevie right. So yes, it's called As. And we had this played at our 25th wedding anniversary. And we're going to have it played at our 50th, baby, because we're going to make it. We just got to stay alive. Staying alive, staying alive. All right. Here we go. I hope it's a blessing to you. We slowed it down a little bit. As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving, and the rosebuds know to bloom in early May. Just as hate knows love's the cure, you can rest your mind assured that I'll be loving you always. As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow But in passing we'll grow older every day Just as all that's born is new You know what I say is true That I'll be loving you always Until the ocean covers every mile I need y'all help here Always, until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea. Always, until we dream of life and life becomes a dream. Did you know that true love asks for nothing? See, this is a mess. Why are you getting on Google? The acceptance is the way we pay. They skipped a verse, but it's all good. Did you know that life has given love a guarantee to last through forever and another day? Just as time knew to move on since the beginning, and the seasons know exactly when to change. Come on, spring, please. Know through all your joy and pain that I'll be loving you always. Another verse. As today I know I'm living, but tomorrow could make me the past, but that I mustn't fear. For I'll know deep in my mind the love of me I've left behind, because I I'll be loving you always. Get ready. Until the days and seas just stop and fly away. Always. Until the day that 8 times 8 times 8 is 4. Always. Until the day that is the days that are no more. Always.
