Mr. Saturday Night

First, all praise to Allah for providing me with the talent and vision to complete this project. For only through His grace and guidance can one enjoy the fruits of one's labors.... This album is also dedicated to the memories of my ancestors, my grandfathers Jesse Borden and Lawrence Blair, my grandmother Mrs. Ophelia Blair and my father Leonard Blair, Sr. May peace be upon all of you.
