Im The Stone – Earth Wind And Fire(1979)
Earth Wind And Fire – Im The Stone(1979) From The Album: Am I Born in Memphis, Maurice White attended Tennessee State University, where he was a member of the school’s marching band. He moved to Chicago, Illinois and began his music career as a session drummer for Chess Records. Around 1966 he became the drummer for The Ramsey Lewis Trio. In 1969 Maurice left The Ramsey Lewis Trio, and joined two friends, Wade Flemons and Don Whitehead, to form a songwriting team which wrote songs for commercials in the Chicago area. The three friends got a recording contract with Capitol Records, and called themselves The Salty Peppers; they had a marginal hit in the Midwestern area with their single “La La Time”. The Salty Peppers’ second single, “Uh Huh Yeah”, didn’t fare as well, and Maurice decided it was time for a change of location, and a change in the band’s name, which became Earth, Wind & Fire. [edit] Earth, Wind & Fire White moved the band to Los Angeles in 1970, and added a number of new members, making the band a ten-piece.

From Steve: One point I have noticed is that people have many different reactions to the word family. I was blessed to have an incredible supportive biological family but many have quite a different history. In this channel the group takes a look at family and what they say is ahead as we humans evolve. They said we will form Families of Light. They also said this may be one areas experiencing stretches during this time. Family issues may come up. I can hear you holding your breath. . . Relax, this too shall pass. To keep it all in perspective they said that family was a contract with a group of souls to lock yourselves in a room until you grew up and that they had a tendency to see who you had been instead of who you care becoming. For some time now the group has been speaking of the potential of what they described as a mini ice age. A general cooling of the planet is ahead to some degree but they always said we had control of these events and more. For the first time in this channel they said that there is now evidence that may signal this is shifting. This particular issue will have to do with what happens during coming Solar Maximus (solar flare cycle) that hopefully will begin soon.
