One of the greatest moments of my life was when my Birth Daughter, Erika Rowell, found me on Facebook. It was a day 24 years in the making. Erika joins me on my podcast to tell our story.

There is a void inside drowning in the feeling that this is all a dream. I can’t remember a time in my life when you weren’t the musical standard in this city. RIP in peace Col. Bruce! God bless you my friend and God bless your family! Thanks for everything!
