Obama Music by Bonnie Greer

This week we had the pleasure of attending a party for Bonnie Greer’s book “Obama Music”.

www.legendpress.co.uk

Its a great book detailing the roots of both Bonnie and Barack – South Side Chicago – a place where so much blues and gospel blossomed in the 20th century.

I (alfie) had the massive pleasure of reading aloud a short passage at the party; it was the most nerve racking experience though my nerves had been settled by Bonnie and her husband’s warmth.

The book fascinates and has inspired me to dive into the history of blues.
Bonnie Greer is a wonderful lady who is both warm whilst being cool as a cube.

Our friend Keira Rathbone did the artwork for the book too which is fantastic. We may have to get her involved on our next album artwork.

Bonnie (a playwright) has a play at the Apollo called Marilyn and Ella (about the friendship between Monroe and Fitzgerald) which we’re going to see on Sunday evening.
