                           A TASTE OF THE WINE COUNTRY

Your Host:  Barbara McGee and Rodney Best

A Special 100^th Show

We will present a panel of special guests that had a Napa Wine tasting experience.  What is happening in Napa to Black Women who are successful and choose to travel to Napa to spend a day touring Wineries? 

Monica Stewart and five of her friends went on a wine tour on Saturday, December 12, 2015 thinking they would have a joyous day in the beautiful Napa Valley.  They visited the Rutherford Winery and Grill in the heart of the Napa Valley after visiting other Wineries this past Saturday.  After their arrival at Rutherford, they had an experience of a life-time that was not conceivable in their plans.  A story that they will share on the show tonight at 7:30 P.M. PST on Galaxy Talk Radio, Straight Talk With The Hired Brush. 

The six women involved are educated, professional and successful in their individual fields of endeavor.  Hatred and racism is not limited to the poor and disenfranchised, it reaches across social and economic boundaries and rears its ugly head when you least expect it.

Join me, Barbara McGee and my co-host Rodney Best, Wealth Expert.  Joining us will be Pastor Kweku, head of Family Solutions since 1992 and Lorraine Taylor, founder of 1,000 Mothers to Prevent Violence and a Political figure from the greater Bay Area. 

Join us tonight and have your questions or related issues that needs a public voice to give solutions in our fight for Freedom, Justice and Equality against economic sanctions, gentrification, employment and education issues set up against those without a voice and a platform of expression.

Later in the series we will focus on my home town Oakland a share those with reflections on life in Oakland it’s past and its seemingly projected future without us. Justice or Else in 2015 and what it means regarding supporting politicians who are not answering our calls and issues and voting against our interest collectively.

It is our honor and privilege at T25CL Entertainment and Galaxy Talk Radio to invite you to participate with this open forum.  We will have more professional organizers speaking through our forum.  Please listen and let your voice be heard within our panel and call in and ask questions let's figure out how we can impact/support our community successfully.

The Music They Played on 7th Street Oakland Walk of Fame

Saunders Samuel King was the first blues artist to score a # 1 hit Oakland in 1942. This number one hit brought him instant fame and put the City of Oakland on the hit parade for blues and R&B forever. Oakland and Los Angeles, California are considered the biggest contributors to what is known as West Coast Blues. Oakland has its own sound and can be described as slow and mournful with simple 1-4-5 blues changes. That was partially true until the influx of Texas musicians who played a very fast and straight forward shuffle gave Oakland Blues a much livelier beat.

Oakland’s 7th Street was the entertainment center for the African American community and social center on any night of the week. The world famous Slim Jenkins Supper Club which included a restaurant, bar and show room was known as Oakland’s high class blues & jazz club. 7th Street had something for everyone from high class Slim Jenkins to hole in the wall clubs. These clubs were lined up and down the street and were packed every Friday & Saturday night.
