a couple of years ago - i was living in atlanta.. and dreamed of finding that older southern soul - someone to learn what only time on earth can teach.. three years later - i moved to the east coast/philadelphia - and outside of where i worked was a magnetic soul that played his trumpet. spending the summer of 2007 together listening to the corner of 18th and walnut - in the hot sun we talked and people watched two or three times a week. forming a friendship - use the word "blessed". this man taught and became a light i will never forget.. oku ali died in october of 2007
