26 hours of Fela.

I’m in seventh heaven right now. I just got a whole bunch of Fela albums and recordings, right from his Koola Lobitos days. It’s actually a thrill for me to hear young Felas voice, sounds a bit like young Femi. I’m wondering how I’ll listen to 26 hours of Fela, so . A lot of people are surprised when I tell them I love Fela, the first question is always ‘Do you smoke weed?’ I’ve have never smoked weed, which is why I can’t wait to go to Amsterdam…..legal weed smoking, yay! That aside, I have always loved Fela. I remember when I was a little girl, my future ambition was to be a Fela dancer, my sister and I used to practice shaking our hips. She always used to tell me I wouldn’t make the cut ‘cos of my stiff body, well that dream went down the drain. After that, I decided to take up the saxophone, but that dream never even saw the day of light, I only got as far as the recorder. I was always awed whenever I saw Fela on the sax, I always used to wonder where he got his energy from. Oh well, maybe one day before this life is over, I will get to play the saxophone. Can't help but wonder how it would have been if Fela had ever become president...hmmmmnnnnn.
