The other day I was delighted to run into my friend Rahbi while I sat working on some stuff for When We Speak at the Starbucks in Little Five Points! (Dang! I gave you the full location! lol)
Anyway...Rahbi and I talked for a few minutes and he informed me of his new song.... CHECK IT OUT!
Then to my surprise, in 2010, I was singing in a choir for a Christmas celebration and Crissy Collins was one of the featured vocalists….. I was so amazed to see her but was too afraid to speak!Then, once again to my surprise, the group I sing with was invited to sing at a program for guess who?Crissy’s mom!Once again, I saw Crissy but was afraid to speak to her!
…To make a long story short, I ran into Crissy a few more times, as well as, attended some of her shows.Each time I was too afraid to speak.
Then one day, I decided that I wanted to attend a show that Crissy Collins was having at Acoustix Jazz Lounge and Restaurant in Atlanta, but the only problem was I had an interview scheduled with Gareth Asher on the same day (around the same time).That didn’t stop me….I decided I would do the interview at Eddie’s Attic in Decatur and then go to Crissy’s show even if I have to arrive late. Well, to my surprise I made it on time and to my benefit I was seated right in front.
That night, Crissy did an amazing performance and she also did something else that I didn’t expect….I was aware that Crissy loves audience participation and loves to put the microphone in your mouth for you to sing….well gues who she spotted out!Yep! Me!I was so nervous that I didn’t sing…… (but that’s ok, the next show that she did it, I was ready!)
Fast Forward…….
One day I was online and I received a message from someone on my Facebook wall and guess what it said……something like this……”Jermaine, inbox me, I want to give you my number so we can talk!”
Do I need to tell you that I was extremely excited?You already know who it was…Crissy!
I am such a fan of Crissy and I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to speak with her on When We Speak!I wanted to share that story just to encourage you that sometimes things don’t happen the way you want them to but if it’s God’s will, It will be done!Have a great day!
But anyway....Rahbi....I can't think of any words to describe him, but I know one word that doesn't describe him and that's "LIMITED"....Check out the video and you will see why!
