During hi-school, me & this cat would to sit next to each other in band, he on trumpet, & me on sax - but after school, we would sit over each others basements gorging ourselves on this thing called hip-hop music. Well, because he was a budding baby dj & would do house parties, he would sometimes come over & borrow a hot record or two, explaining that it (the record in question) would "set the party off right".
The following is an actual copy of a letter being sent to one Charles "DJ Symphoni" Bruce, a producer/DJ for the PLEXUS crew and a childhood friend of yours truly.



To: Charles Bruce
From: Patrick Washington
