PLEASURE

During midnight madness Coach John Thompson III did a tribute to the late D.C. GoGo Legend Lil Benny from his gogo group Rare Essence, so I wanted to relive that moment and glide into it on my blog too.  I also wanted to give a lesson on GoGo 101 to some of the folks who don't know, like or understand GoGo Music.  I think when most folks are educated on something they pretty much understand and respect what they didn't know or realize about the subject, so here it is.  Coach Thompson said it best, "D.C. IS OUR PLAYGROUND".
