I was fortunate enough to meet Brad when The Specials toured the West Coast in 2013. I met him in the lobby of their hotel in San Diego, CA. He was extremely nice and friendly, and signed all my Specials albums for me. He even took a few photos and asked my opinion of the band's set list that night. I was thrilled. We spoke about his passion for soul music, Stax Records and things like that. I came away from that meeting totally thrilled. Here was someone who I had admired from afar...

The Soul journey Once upon a depth in time, where souls and hearts in rings of peace entwine. A flashing spark of light divine, brought mind and bodies into line, Somewhere in once upon a depth in time. Once upon a journey's start, with mind and body and heart combined a whispered word of wisdom chimed, go on go on, yourself you'll find you are now a child of your journey's time till end, just a couple more new bends Once upon a midway stop when all must make a crossroad swap you...
