I've cooked for some of you guys for years now, and I'm hoping to see you this weekend in Boulder. I've been in physical and emotional pain lately, and I was trying to cook at midnight for Tre Hardson, in a lot of pain, and I threw on the Black Thought/Dilla piece "Comin to Break You Off" and I can't even figure out how it eased my pain, but it really did, especially the physical pain. It's something about Dilla's grasp of harmony, I think, and my bones are now 40% air (I'm evaporating), and so maybe the harmony has room to knock around...? And that seems to work in so many of Dilla's gifts to us. Love, Shep
