    Hey 
    guys, 






    I 
    heard 
    it 
    said, 
    somebody 
    had 
    told 
    me 
    way 
    back 
    when, 

    that 
    when 
    we 
    dream 
    it's 
    always 

    in 
    black 
    and 
    white, 
    well 
    that's 
    something 
    I 
    can't 
    really 
    attest 
    to, 

    you know, 
    because 

    I 
    dream 
    in 

    Technicolor. 

    I dream 
    that 

    Dr. 

    Julius 

    Irving 
    walked 
    right 
    into 
    the 

    YMCA 

    on 
    52nd 
    and 

    Chestnut 

    Street. 

    He 
    had 
    on 
    a 
    top 
    10 
    on 
    one 
    foot 

    and 
    a 

    Jack 

    Purcell 
    on 
    the 
    other. 

    So, 
    he 
    said 
    he 
    wanted to 
    know 

    or if I 
    wanted 
    to head 
    down 
    to 

    Kung 

    Fu 

    Theater 

    at 
    the 

    Goldman, 
    you 
    know, 

    or something 
    like 
    that, 

    that 

    Bilal 
    and 

    Jill 

    Scott 
    and 

    Patti 

    LaBelle, 
    ooh, 

    were 
    playing 
    at the 

    Spectrum. 

    He 
    was 
    like, 
    I 
    don't know, 
    it 
    was weird. 

    He 
    had a 
    basketball 
    for 
    a 
    mouth. 

    And 
    when 
    he 
    spoke, 
    it 
    was 
    like, 
    I 
    don't know, 

    a rhythmic 
    dribble 
    or 
    something. 

    It 
    was 
    cool. 

    You had 
    to be 
    there. 

    So, 
    all 
    of a 
    sudden, 
    we're 
    at 

    Bartram 

    High, 
    and 
    they're 
    playing 

    Grats, 
    and 

    Hank 

    Gathers 

    are 
    there, 
    and 

    Bo 

    Kimble, 
    and 

    Pooh 

    Richardson. 

    Remember 
    him? 

    Well, 
    I do. 

    And 

    Lionel 

    Simmons 

    And 

    Randy 

    Wood, 
    it was 
    like 
    a 
    oasis 
    of 
    athletes. 

    And 

    Doug 

    Overton, 
    and, 
    you 
    know, 

    Dawn 

    Staley, 
    remember? 

    Remember
    ? 

    How 
    she 
    gripped 
    it at 

    Davids, 
    had 
    it 
    wide 
    open. 

    The 
    whole 
    city 
    would 
    come 
    and 
    see. 

    And 
    I 
    was 
    there 
    with 

    Dr. 

    Julius 

    Irving, 
    right? 

    So 
    I 
    look 
    over 
    and 

    Maurice 

    Cheeks 
    and 

    Alan 

    Iverson 
    are 
    rapping, 
    really 
    rapping. 

    And 
    like 

    Bobby 

    Dance 
    and 

    Lady 

    B 
    was 
    having 
    a 
    party, 
    somebody 
    told 
    me. 

    And 

    Coffee 

    Cam 
    and 

    Perry 

    P, 

    Butterball, 

    Da 

    Tough 

    Crew, 

    Steady 

    B, 

    Cool 

    C, 
    and 

    Schoolie 

    D 
    were 
    gonna 
    be 
    there. 

    And 

    Grandmaster 

    Nell 
    was 
    the 

    DJ. 

    Ooh. 

    Robbie 

    V 
    was 
    the 
    emcee. 

    Ooh. 

    Scanna 

    Boys 
    popping 
    and 
    rocking. 

    You 
    know 
    how 
    they 
    do 

    that thing 
    when 
    they 
    do 
    that. 

    Uh, 
    uh, 
    uh, 
    uh, 

    Mr. 

    Softy

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
