I just cant tell you how much I love this man. His loving spirit and ambitions remind me so much of Michael and he is such an incredible artist, a genius. I had the honor of attending one of his concerts 2 summers ago. He was amazing 
AWARD – Honored by BMI Board of Directors as a unique musical creator of Worldwide Stature for 2012!
DEAREST DEL BRYANT, SUSAN AUSTIN DAVENPORT AND EVERYONE ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS…..THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR SELECTING AND CHOOSING ME AS A RECIPIENT OF THIS MOST HONORABLE AWARD. PEOPLE KNOW THAT IT MEANS A LOT TO ME TO LOOK ACROSS THE ROOM AND SEE SUCH PEOPLE WITH REAL POWER (MORE POWER THAN THE GENERALS AT THE PENTAGON). THEIR PURPOSE IS TO DEFEND PROTECT AND ATTACK…..THE PURPOSE OF EVERYONE HERE IS TO CHANGE PEOPLE’S CONSCIOUSNESS, HEARTS, MINDS AND LIVES WITH MUSIC. YES WITH MUSIC….AS JIMI HENDRIX ONCE SAID.
“NOTES ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN BULLETS”
I CAN TALK ABOUT HOW I GOT HERE….HOW UNLIKELY THAT A MEXICAN IMIGRANT DISWASHER WHO HAD BIG…BIGGER….BIGGEST DREAMS WOULD SOMEHOW REACH HIGHS EVEN I COULD NOT HAVE DREAMED OF. YES, A DISWASHER THAT ONCE SAW THE GREATFUL DEAD PULL UP IN THREE LIMOUSINES TO BUY SOME HAMBURGERS AT TICK TOCK….WHERE I WORKED.
ONE NIGHT I SAW MR BB KING GET A ROUSING OVATION BEFORE HE PLAYED ONE NOTE! HE COULD NOT CONTAIN HIMSELF….HE BROKE DOWN AND WEPT. HIS TEARS WERE REAL, THEY WERE TEARS OF GRATITUDE. ALL I COULD SEE WAS TEARS SHINING, AND THE BIG RING ON HIS FINGER AS HE REACHED FOR A HANKERCHIEF TO WIPE HIS TEARS.
AT THAT MOMENT, I KNEW I WAS GOING TO BECOME A FULL TIME MUSCICIAN INSTEAD OF A DISHWASHER WHO PLAYED ON THE WEEKENDS.
YES…I WAS COMMITTED TO HONORING MY MOTHER. I HELPED MY FATHER WITH MY JOB AS A DISWASHER TO HELP SUPPORT MY 4 SISTERS AND 2 BROTHERS.
AROUND THAT SAME TIME, MR BILL GRAHAM CAUGHT ME SNEAKING INTO THE FILLMORE TO HEAR CREAM, HENDRIX, GRATEFUL DEAD AND EVERYONE ELSE. AFTER I SAW THE GREATFUL DEAD…. I DECIDED AT THAT VERY MOMENT, TO QUIT MY JOB AS A DISWASHER. I WAS WARNED THAT THEY WOULD NEVER HIRE ME BACK IF I QUIT. I LOOKED AT HIM WITH ABSOLUTE DEFIANCE…STEPPED RIGHT UP TO THE TIME CLOCK, PUNCHED OUT FOR THE FINAL TIME AS HARD AND LOUD AS I COULD. I FELT FREE WITH NO FEAR! LIKE AN EAGLE THAT EXCHANGES THE FUNKY FILTHY CROWDED NEST FOR THE VASTNESS OF THE SKY. I CAN TELL YOU THAT GOD ALWAYS PLACES A SENTIENT BEING IN MY PATH. MR BILL GRAHAM SET ME UP TO WALK THRU A HUGE DOOR AT WOODSTOCK….MR CLIVE DAVIS HELPED ME CREATE THE SUPERNATURAL PHENOMENON….AND I SUSPECT THAT MR DEL; BRYANT WILL PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE NEXT CHAPTER OF MY LIFE.
RIGHT NOW, I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE ALL OF YOU TO PLEASE ENVISION A NEW WORLD RADIO STATION THAT IS ASSIGNED AND DESIGNED TO STOP VIOLENCE, CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR AND HURTFUL ACTS. WE NEED TO STOP RAPE, DOMESTIC VIOLANCE AND SENSELESS ABUSE ON OUR CHILDREN. THE KILLINGS IN SCHOOLS AND SHOPPING MALLS….THE MASSICE EXPLOSIONS AND KILLING OF INNOCENT CHILDREN OF ALL AGES.
I DECLARE RIGHT NOW THAT YOU ALL HOLD THE POWER AND GRACE TO IMPLEMENT A NEW WORLD RADIO STATION THAT CAN BROADCAST SONGS, WORDS AND PRINCIPLES TO HEAL OUR PLANET.
WE CAN CREATE A BRIDGE OF LOVE AND COMPASSION…A REAL TANGIBLE SOLID CHANNEL OF POSITIVE VIBRATION.
FOR EXAMPLE…WE START THE RADIO STATION DAILY WITH SONGS LIKE IMAGINE, BY JOHN LENNON, AND SANDWICH IT IN WITH WORDS FROM FEMALE AND MALE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE WINNERS AND SPEAKERS, LIKE DESMOND TUTU. OTHER SONGS THAT COME TO MIND ARE, WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD, BY LOUIS ARMSTRONG…. ONE LOVE BY BOB MARLEY, BLOWING IN THE WIND BY BOB DYLAN, A CHANGE IS GOING TO COME BY SAM COOKE, WHAT’S GOING ON BY MARVIN GAYE AND A LOVE SUPREME BY JOHN COLTRANE.
WE CAN BE MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS WORLD. PLAYING MUSIC LIKE THIS REARRANGES THE MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF PEOPLE ALL OVER THIS WORLD. GIVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY AND I WILL DEMONSTRATE TO ALL OF YOU THAT THIS IS NOT ONLY THE RIGHT THING TO DO….IT IS ALSO PROFITABLE. PLEASE JOIN ME AND ALLOW WILLINGNESS TO CREATE WHAT THIS WORLD NEEDS. WORLD RADIO THAT TRANSMITS PURE PEACE AND POWER THAT THE LISTENERS ALL OVER THE WORLD WILL SURRENDER TO THEIR LIGHT AND WE BRING OPPOSITES OF FEAR AND DISTRACTION. I WOULD CALL THIS HEAVEN AND EARTH CHANNEL “THE UNIVERSAL TONE”
