;D Hi Everybody, Just wanted to help Winston out a little by starting this "Roll-Call" thread. I hope everyone is doing ok. Please take the time to say hello. At least let know that you are still around...LOL! Let's all check in and give everyone an update about our status.
Well, I am doing just fine in Carolina. I have been blessed hand over fist. God has opened doors for me, and has given me the opportunity to work on my first CD project with a Major record label. I am very excited, and working very hard. I don't have much free time now-a-days with all of my jobs mommy ... wife ...secretary...maid....writer....singer...engineer...etc...LOL, but I am not complaining. I love it!! I wouldn't have it any other way.
I hope everyone is doing well, and that you are all in good health. I look forward to re-connecting with everyone. I miss my BACKSEAT FAM! :-( Holla Back P

Thanks for posting Portia. Glad to hear you are busy and doing well!
Just didn't want to lose all our backseat family in the midst of the message board that went down.
If you're visiting and you're here, please give a shout out so we can stick together!
Cheers, and hope you are having a great weekend!
Winston

Brian McKnight Duets With Stevie Wonder, Jill Scott On New Album Brian McKnight June 11, 2009 09:43 AM ET
Gary Graff, Detroit
Brian McKnight is "almost done" with his first set of all-new material in three years and predicts its first single could "go to radio in the next two weeks."
"If the deadline was today, I'd be perfectly comfortable putting a record out," McKnight tells Billboard.com. "But I didn't want to rush and push anything. I wanted to let the ideas grow and evolve, naturally. As the deadline approaches I'm getting more and more creative; I wrote two songs today before I even sat down at the piano."
The as-yet-untitled album, which will be a joint venture between McKnight's own label and E1, will be his first studio since "Ten" in 2006. The singer, songwriter, musician and producer says that he's "taken some different directions" this time, ranging from "five to six Brian McKnight kind of songs that you'd expect" -- including the planned first single, "What I've Been Waiting For" -- to one track that has "a reggae feeling that I've never done before." McKnight says he's also been influenced by his sons, who are concurrently recording their own album.
"I get my songs to a certain point and take them to my oldest son and say, 'What would you do here?'," McKnight says. "I'm completely influenced by what they're doing. Their record sounds like everything from Marvin Gaye to Metallica."
McKnight's album also features duets with Stevie Wonder on a song called "Without You" and with Jill Scott on "More Than Just a Thing."
The album isn't the only new venture McKnight is working on. Starting Sept. 26 he'll have a weekly late-night talk show airing during weekends on 218 (so far) CW affiliates.
He says the program will be "not unlike what others are doing but a little closer to what Arsenio used to do. I'm willing to put people on (that) others won't, and have the other people that everyone else has, too."
McKnight, who has a morning radio show on Smooth Jazz KTWV-FM, plans to use his Internet site to let fans submit questions for his guests, and he promises that he'll find "ways to be funny" without trying to become a stand-up comedian. Musically he plans to "have everyone, across so many different genres," including pals such as Justin Timberlake and Rascal Flatts. "It'll be like, 'Come over to my place,' except with a studio audience," McKnight says. "And, of course, at some point of the show I will sing."
