I also went to an event yesterday morning to celebrate the anniversary because Danny was in town and speaking there. They mixed What's Goin' On with the speech and later the Martin Luther King III came out. It's funny, I did think of you when I was standing there and wishing you could see it too- music and people, history and magic. Hope you're well. See you soon! Hey Jason,

I'm the jazz singer out of Chicago, you left a message on my Barack Obama blog and I wanted to check you out and I'm so glad I did. I'm living in your world as well. My wife is Icelandic American and our kids are growing up here but go there every summer and my daughter speaks reads and writes the language, so I have some sense of what you're alluding to in your introduction to the song and I'm doing what I can to make my children's introduction to this world's and especially our country's crazy take on race as painless as possible, so far so good but they're only 9 & 5. Hopefully Barack's successful candidacy will move our country forward a quantum step. I have a sense that it's happening. It's all so very exciting. Hey stay in touch! And keep writing and singing!!
