Welcome & thank you

Welcome and thank you for looking. This site exists to promote the best..? I guess, what I really mean is stuff I really like..? Of artistic culture, not just my contribution. I'm building this site little by little and as stuff happens…

I'm performing either as Billy Bloody Blake or as Universal Sinners.

Let me introduce…
And BTW, gotta tell you…

Universal Sinners

NaughtyFunnyProvocativeReflective-of-self

And BTW, gotta tell you, there's been some talk about the Universal Sinners name and the art, each of which is intended as naughty funny provocative and reflective-of-self… It is certainly not anti-faith. It is certainly not in favour of sin (derr!). Its ironic, that even doing our best, often out wide without cover … we're all sinners, one way, one time, or another.

Sin has different meaning for different folk. I suggest, religion or no religion, Sin probably is the doing of a conscious act, knowing, contemplating or disregarding the consequences of hurting another…? I really don't know. But I'm sure we've all done that. Universally, right? Fuck! I have. And mostly, we all, most of us, live life as best we can… it's not really that heavy. But the guilt… just sometimes… that voice… screaming inside… Terrible terrible!

So, this about us celebrating all of us, our best we can be, in acknowledgment, forgiveness and FUN!!!

And for that one soul amongst us without sin … I'll be bringing a big-ass bag of stones to each performance. Readily accessible front of stage. Dare ya. Go on… Throw one! Please resist the urge… I have insurance issues.

Oops! Sorry, going way too far out there with the name justification thing just now. Where was I…? I remember now… Who really cares, right? The name's fun and I love the logo.

For the record, with absolute certainty, I am a sinner.

Vale Lorna

I am sad to note the passing of my beautiful sister and Chicago Soul Collective leader, Lorna Boston. Vale Lorna. Singer, song writer, Show girl, leader, mentor, Diva, finder and promoter of talent, and superior soul. Beautiful and powerful woman. And SO much fun! She went out peacefully knowing, like all who know her, I love her and she loves me. Her energy is with us. And always will be.

More Chicago Soul Collective stuff

The recordings, each of, and all of us. And the Chicago Soul Collective documentary (don't know if anybody saw it…?). Doesn't matter.

Giving this Blog thing some thought

I'm giving this Blog thing some thought. Seemed like a superb idea at the time; communicating with my fellow souls, saints and sinners both. Discussing the BIG issues, presenting the concepts. Blowing our minds with the Dee-tails. Indulging in the rebuttal. Bringing others in… I mean Fuck…!! it could be torture. Think about the effort involved… How much time do we have…? Sure those so inclined are already engaged at relevantly appropriate alternative outlets. I really am NOT your techy social media person. Hell! I'm paying someone else (wonderful human BTW) to look after this shit for me… What am I thinking…??

So official posting at Blog, is "Under Consideration. Get backtchya".

Short answer: Under Consideration.

I acknowledge that I meet and work on the land of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. And with further respect, I wish and hope in future, to visit and to work on other lands of the people of our Original Nations. I wish to pay respect to their Elders, past, present and future, and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.
