His Time


This week was a bittersweet one. Still without a job, I don't despair, but all would have been one hundred per cent, but, it is not so I don't trouble my soul or fret about it. I continue to press the best way I know how. I sure wish mom hadn't found out, but she has and now it's time to move on.

The good thing that happened this week is that the CD Cambridge III had been working on with Jessica Minahan has finally dropped. Yes, Jessica is on the cover and she will be the "face" of the recorded effort as well she should, but the music and songs, six of ten to be exact are Cambridge's own works. 

It took a labor of love, tragedy, effort, sweat and tears to get get my brothers work out there and what we had all thought was a lost endeavor has come to pass. You see, if there are dreams to reach and you have those dreams, do all you can to make them come true, no matter the time effort or obstacles involved. That is what Cambridge III and his music has taught me and the rest of us in the family. 

These songs are more than thirty years old and now they are where they truly needed to be, exposed to the world to enjoy and appreciate. Years ago Cambridge III has aspirations to become a music star and while that will never come to fruition he still has accomplished his original goal - to get his music and voice "out there".

All of us have had our battles and situations with Cambridge III over the years, but this week is his validation, this week his time to prove himself. He passed with flying colors.

I'M VERY PROUD OF MY OLDEST BROTHER!!
