If You Want Me to Stay

You’ll hear all of the children take solos... you’ll hear Papa C, “don’t look at me!” 😂 He wants everyone to trust in their foundation of knowledge, their lessons and instinct and focus on what they’re saying, focus on their voice - lessons for life. Your voice will need cultivation, mentoring, it will evolve and then you must practice exercising that voice with unwavering confidence and fervor because you won’t always have your parents or mentors around to hold your hand, you have to trust yourself. I love Papa C.’s adage, “it’s not about me, it’s about the music” - music is energy, music is everything, take the ego out of it so you can feel and connect to its power, the power of the ancestors who created it, the power of artists who influenced you, connect to your own power, connect to the power of those who you are playing with and connect to those who are listening to you. Practice so you can access that knowledge, cultivate that instinct and have fun creating. Creation, Connection, Community, SOLIDARITY, LOVE.

[@lorianderson-musgrave3609]

That’s the song you should’ve performed on AGT. Funky fresh. Brilliant

[@thecurtisfamilycnotes]

Thank you! We wanted to do this, unfortunately the show couldn’t get clearance for it and a lot of other songs we wanted to do. We also couldn’t do our own arrangement of Love Train (we posted it here on CZcams and on our Facebook page fb.watch/bg-2tJbiel/ ) the music producers thought it wasn’t tv friendly but we’re still so thankful for the opportunity. We made some lifelong friends as well.

[@lorianderson-musgrave3609]

@@thecurtisfamilycnotes YES! Your own arrangement is Fire!

Brilliant as always! What is the gold record in your wall?

[@thecurtisfamilycnotes]

Papa C earned that from his time on Kalimba Records, for his jazz group’s album, long before he met mama and had all of us. 😁
