I have traveled throughout the US for two years, from 3/8/19 to 7/10/2022, on a Blues Tour, from East Coast to West Coast four times, performing as the Lead Vocalist with Iconic Blues and Jazz Musicians, first for the Little Richard House Dedication on 3/30/2019 in Macon, GA. (Fundraiser).

Salt Lake City with the Blues Foundation in Memphis for the Guitar Shorty Concert (Fundraiser).

New Orleans performances with Willie Lockett and the Blues Krewe at the House of Blues for four months as a side man with Terry Marshall (UK), Founder of the Marshall Amp and Jazz Saxophonist.

Carona, CA. I also produced a 4th of July Festival with Charlie Watts, the original drummer with the Beatles, at the Fairgrounds before 15,000 attendees for a (Fundraiser) for the Harriet Tubman Museum in Macon, GA.!

It is interesting on this Musical Journey that everything always points me back to Chicago.

My Grandmother, Irene Hudlin Jordan.

Uncle Lowell Jordan (2nd. Lt. Tuskegee Airman) composed for Sam Cooke and Lou Rawls's Hit Song "Whole Lotta' Woman."

My Mother, Marie J. Lindsey, built the entire Library System at Fort Lewis Army Base (JBLM).

All were born in Chicago.

I am returning to Chicago, the Roots, where everything began for Me to follow a Legacy and re-record and sing all songs accompanied by Reginald Robinson, Ragtime Pianist and Composer based in Chicago.

He Produced the Pekin Theater Story on YouTube.

You can view my Profile on www.Linkedin.com for all of the above Posts and 70+ Articles Published and share my story with you.

The Pictured Album received a Grammy Award in 1982.

I recently returned from Chicago 9/29 to begin the Pre-Production process for this Joe Jordan Documentary "They All Played Ragtime."

I did a site location with Tim Samuelson, a Historian for Chicago, who showed me the building where My Great-Grandfather, a Master Chef, Grandfather, and Grandmother, resided and the Original Spot where the Jordan Building was built and the Pekin Theater location in Brownsville. He will be the Narrator.

I received a commitment from Reginald Robinson, Ragtime Composer/Pianist, to do the Soundtrack Producer.

Secured a Film Crew from the Chicago SAG/AFTRA Local with a Deposit of $5000.

Applications for Grants will be sought from the Joyce and Obama Foundations in Chicago, Sag Foundation in LA and other Performing Arts Foundations.

The budget is set at $1,000,000.

This Project is a Labor of Honor, Respect and Love for My Grandfather and Uncle Eubie, who mentored Me and taught me never to Give Up on Your Dreams because dreams come True!
