New Edition with a Twist

For the past couple of weeks I have also indulged in some commercial radio play. There is a local dj who's art I have been admiring for years. I had an opportunity to be entertained and sent back to the past with some real good old school music. DJ Starting from Scratch!!! He always has a way of captivating my ears. When I get married he will be the dj spinning my night away. Hopefully he doesn't cost too much. Today.... he did a whole New Edition mix... for a good hour. I didn't realize that New Edition had that much material.. and good material at that. Ronnie, Bobby, Ricki, Mike, Ralph, and Johnny too. New Edition, BBD, Bobby "Bad Boy" Brown, Ralph Tresvant and Johnny Gill... those suckers had some real good tunes.

It's a shame what has happened to Bobby... he had potential. But the rest of the fellas seem to hold it together real well. I did not know that they had a reunion tour. And I also didn't know that they are still making music. I must confess that I had a crush on Ralph Tresvant during "sensitivity" that song still gives me chills.

New Edition brings me back to my first communion where we played "Cool It Now" like it was going out of style. BBD poison brings me back to my bangy wearing s-curl days and a wicked concert at Canada's Wonderland with ABC and Rico Suave himself Gerraldo. Bobby Brown would make me blush with all that gyrating and thrusting of his "hips". Johnny Gill makes me want to say "My, My, My"

This is a R&B group I believe should go down in the books. They were innovative, fresh, and always coming out with something new.

Now if you will excuse me I am off to play some of my New Edition albums... and scratch some of them up on the mixer. If Starting From Scratch can do it... so can I. Hahaha.... now that is funny... someone stop me before I hurt myself.
