Have You Asked the Question?

"How precious is the love of the person I hold dear?"  We ask you: "Are you taking her/him for granted?"  If you are . . . one day that person may not be there for you.  Duane Parham obviously thought about what it means to have a "precious love" for him to "cover" the Marvin Gaye/Tammy Terrell version of "Your Precious Love" and . . . make into a video.   Presently, it has over 10,000 views on Youtube.

What It Means to Be Precious

As I reflected on the word "precious" in terms of a person, words like:  "priceless, treasure, dear, invaluable" and "beloved" came to mind.  Taking a step further, it means someone you can count on during the highs as well as the lows . . . someone who always has your back.   It would be wise to not abuse that relationship in any way. Watch and listen for a few seconds. . .

Duane Parham Unmasked

Let's talk about Duane Parham.  Who is he?  Duane is the father of three (3) adult female children.  Each has carved out a successful path for herself.  After two (2) divorces, his saxophone has become a constant companion.  Parham would be lost without it.  This is not to say he does not have a special "female companion somewhere."

Most of Duane's musical career has been in service to others.  Yea . . . he has CDs and albums, but countless families have and continue to look to his musical performances at their weddings, funerals, birthday celebrations and parties.  Further, he and his band have traveled across America and played in clubs and festivals for many years.  This is an enjoyment he continues to enjoy.

The Educator and Provider

Numerous children have felt the "breath of his horn" as he guided them through not only the "sharps and flats" of music but also the "highways and byways" of life.   His 501 c 3 nonprofit, Educational Arts Society places FREE instruments in the hands of children.   Your contribution is greatly appreciated.    Click here.  

If you are motivated how he did all of that, read or get a FREE audio of his book,  "Can You Hear Me Now?"      Click that link . . . it will get you there!

​Duane:  Your Precious Love

Duane has many "precious loves!"  This article shared some of them.  His latest CD Single "Your Precious Love" simply magnifies what they mean to him.  

What does the future hold for Parham?  His company, Saxville Avenue, is about to release a new album with such Motown greats as "The Four Tops," "The Contours" and the latest singing sensation, Tammy (Trele) Davis. Sitting "on his hands" is not a trait of Saxophonist Duane Parham.  So . . . stay tuned!

Answering - "Kendrick Lamar: Who is He?"

Kendrick Lamar​ is a songwriter and rapper who broke into the American spotlight in 2010 with ​"Mixtape O(verly D(edicated.."  He is not only one of the highest paid rappers, he is one of the most popular.  "Mixtape" follows much of the language and social issues many rappers expressed at that time . . . not main street appreciation.  It sold 12,000 copies a year later. 

What did Lamar learn from the Mixtape release?  One can say, he learned that in order to reach a wider audience, he had to make some changes.  So, in 2013, a more mainstream album called "good, m.A.A.d City" was released.  Some declare it to be a classic.  From my perspective, the lyrics describe an angry young man seeking to find not only himself, but a pathway in life that he (himself) can live and respect.  Music can be a means of working through mental confusion.  The song may or may not have been a "life lesson" for Lamar, but it certainly was a "listen my friends and you will hear" advice for his male counterparts.     

Career Highlights

Some of Kendrick's song hits are: The Heart Pt. 2, Keisha's Song, The Recipe, Hood Politics, P&P, R.O.T.C. and She Needs Me.  A list of his awards and successes include:
​

  • 10 Grammy Awards
  • A Pulitzer Prize Album
  • He Ranked #9 on Billboard's 10 Best Rappers of All Time List
  • ​He has been called one of the most influential rappers of his generation.

Now You Can Answer:  Kendrick Lamar: Who is He?

Chuck Arnold refers to Lamar as "the truth-telling voice and consciousness of hip-hop."  My experience in the rap world is limited.  Therefore, I cannot dispute that analysis.   What I can say is, researching this man has been an informative and exciting journey!   He is inspirational, intuitive and "tuned-in" to America's (problem) cultural issues.  We need all three.

Finally, after a 5-year hiatus, Lamar burst on the scene in May 2022 with the album "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers."   If it follows the history of Lamar's music, it will be a success.   However, as a biblical reader and writer, the album cover gives me pause. . ..  So, I ask, "Is the crowned head of Lamar symbolizing the suffering of Jesus Christ?"  And . . . is the woman holding the baby trying to relive what it means to hold "the baby in a manger?"
