Marvin Dunaway (Haywood) was and will always remain a friend. I do not believe death ends friendship. He took me in as a friend and was a true friend. Also a Leo, he had spice, and had some of the best comeback lines I’ve ever heard. One of my only friends who didn’t drink, but didn’t need it to have a great time. To my knowledge, he didn’t have any enemies. A gentle soul, and a great example of what a man should be,

Jazz Vocalist Aaron Myers Releases Holiday Album “Snowing in Vegas”
“This has been a year in the making.” Myers said. “I’m very glad to finally have this project completed in time for the holidays ”
Myers debuted music from his new album “Snowing in Vegas” November 25th on WPFW‘s show “Live at Five.” On the show, he introduced his holiday favorite “Love all Year” a song in the vein of Darlene Love’s “Baby Please Come Home” and Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas.” Myers will also perform music from his new holiday album live at Mr. Henry’s December 18th from 8pm – 11pm at a no cover show.
This is the second album released this year by Myers. He released “The Lion’s Den” October 2nd, a jazz fusion project featuring both covers and originals. Like “The Lion’s Den,” his holiday album offers familiar holiday favorites with a few originals written by him and others. “The phrase snowing in Vegas came from a cool story told by Oren Levine and his wife” Myers said. “After hearing the story of their unsuccessful quest to find warmer climates, and then traveling to Vegas when it actually snowed, and I started to play the melody on the piano right away!” Levine and Myers played together for five years at the Black Fox Lounge.
Aaron Myers, known as the “Class Act” and currently ranked the number one Jazz artist in Globally on the Reverbnation Jazz Charts, brings his show to Mr. Henry’s the fourth Friday of every month. Selected Best Singer in the Washington City Paper’s “Best of DC Readers Poll” for 2015, Myers has made an impression on the District by merging art with activism. Currently he serves as Board Secretary for Crittenton Services of Greater Washington and Board Treasurer for OASIS Dance Company. Visit his website at www.aaron2.me for more information.

Depression is Real
Depression is real. As an artist, I live with it every day, and the operative word is “live.” It is not easy, and at times it seems as if I have no problems with the struggle. There are times when I feel on top of the world…for a moment. Then a tunnel surrounds me blocking out any affection or caring word I’ve ever heard from anyone else in my life. It becomes me at my most isolated, not selfish, state where although people are surrounding me, they have been blocked from my vision.
