I was blessed to be a member of a phenomenal group of musicians during my formative years, led and guided by some exceptionally visionary teachers. This weekend we will be gathering to rename the Locke High School band building in honor those teachers: Donald Dustin, Frank Harris, and Reggie Andrews. In doing so, I will join the bandstand with an illustrious list of alumni, to include: Patrice Rushen, Leon "Ndugu" Chancler, Fritz Wise, Daniel Le'Melle, Tyrese Gibson, Raymond Pounds, Gerald Albright, Gary Bias, Charles Mims, Danny Cortez, and many more sung & unsung greats from this South Central Los Angeles bed of talent. It is indeed an honor to have once been and to always be a Saint.
~Once a Saint, always a Saint~
