In 1973 I was the white guy who accompanied the all black singing group, The Main Ingredient, that included the very talented people Cuba Gooding Senior, Tony Sylvester, Luther Simmons, and during my time with those singers and musicians I was always blown away by the polish and precision of our performances. The love, enthusiasm and pride that I felt emanating from the audience made me feel like I was involved in something very special.

If politics are anything like music then there is the possibility of something very special occurring in an Obama presidency.
