Baby Oil
Baby Oil grew up in a house; he never considered it a home even though he was adored by the women who raised him. They use to call themselves sexual and wounded beauties. They were amazingly beautiful. They turned heads everywhere they went. Men loved to be near them. He watched these women fall in love. Then he would catch and comfort them after their hearts were broken. They would tell him how men were only words that faded after the sun came up after a passionate night.
He learned desire. He became a student of both ends of a relationship. Words were the glue that either binds or breaks a commitment. He learned how to strengthen, empower, heal, and love these women.
By the time Baby Oil started noticing women as sexual beauties, his yearning engulfed him. Then he discovered fear. He never wanted to become the men who shattered the women who raised him. It was hard for women not to notice him. The women who raised him groomed him to be the man they wished their men to be. He became the ideal man or could change to meet those needs. Words...words were everything.
He toyed with wanting to becoming a stripper but never built up the courage. This desire to entertain, seduce, and love women roared inside of them. Then he decided to put his thoughts on paper. A female friend stumbled upon his work and was in Flames when he caught her. When he kissed her, he engulfed her. He has been writing ever since.
However be forewarned. He is a lover, but he can be a hard ass to deal with at times. His words not only are capable of healing, they can also cut deep.
Baby Oil has made several appearances on radio stations in the U.S. He is preparing to release two books "Sleeping Alone" and "I'm Glad You Came". He is also working on a CD "My Whisper".
He also has mugs, T-shirts, and memorabilia bearing his signature and some of his work. He writes a column in "The STREETS" a weekly newsletter produced by Lamont Carey and LaCarey Entertainment, LLC.
To contact Baby Oil and get on his email list to receive the column, send an email to:ohbabyoil@yahoo.com. He is currently represented by LaCarey Entertainment, LLC and his books and CD are released through their holdings.
He appreciates all of your support
A taste of Baby Oil's Flava:
Desire
You are no longer alone
My deepest desire is to fill your home
With us
From the time you go to sleep to waking up
I'll love you just like you are
For my commitment you don't have to look far
I will never leave
You can openly love me
From my lips
That will kiss all parts of your heart that have been missed
We'll live inside each other
Become one person more powerful than lovers
But I'll communicate with your mind
Your soul
And every time I touch your body it will explode
I will measure your needs
To fulfill you with ease
Talk to me
What is it that I can do
My only desire is to have you
Love you
Like you want love to do
Just let me know
And I will build my world around you

Introducing...
Rodger Pegues
Rodger Pegues, a native of Seattle, Washington, started singing solos in church at the age of 9. Inspired by the gifted music minister of Mt Zion Baptist Church, Phyllis Byrdwell, he began to study piano. In his teens he received both classical and jazz piano instruction at the Cornish School of Allied Arts. At Garfield High School, under the directorship of Clarence Acox he was awarded a superior performance award at the Reno International Jazz festival.
The music of John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, Herbie Hancock and Keith Jarrett were among his earliest influences as he searched for his voice among the musical panoply of jazz genres and stylings.
After studying at Cornish Rodger moved to Los Angles, CA. There as the musical director of the City Stage theater he began to explore experimental forms of jazz and performance art, fusing jazz with poetry, drama and visual arts.
In the early 1990's his creative expression came of age during his tenure at the Jazz Club in Hong Kong. There he played with the great Jon Hendricks, Billy Bang, Dakota Stanton, and the legendary Jimmy Witherspoon. After working and touring in Asia for several years 3 years Rodger returned to Seattle Washington and formed the Rodger Pegues Trio.
Leading this group he toured throughout the Pacific Northwest featuring his signature vocals , graceful, bold and eclectic piano stylings, and repertoire of original compositions that embody a synergy of passion for the innovative against a tribute to the traditional.

"doin it"
July 6th 2009 (Seattle, Washington) -- Rodger Pegues, jazz pianist, singer, songwriter, poet and long time Seattle Native, is calling all gifted artist to take part in the ultimate performance orgy of s y n e r g y, energy and passion. On every first Thursday of the month, 9pm at Capitol Hill's Faire Gallery Cafe, 1351 Olive Way East, Seattle Washington, the s y n e r g y begins. This coming show will take place on August 6th. Pegues, along with a house drummer and Emcee Ebony Arunga take command of the energy as they feature poets, vocalist, musicians and spoken word artist combining various instrumental iterations of jammers into performance groups of symbiotic s y n e r g y. The first performance group on the last jam was made up of harp, piano and conga's. They went into a mellow spontaneous composition that was compelling, free, entrancing and emotional.
It is within these smaller groups of musicians and artists, or "iterations:, as Pegues calls me, that the s y n e r g y can take place. "See you get too many cats up here at once and there's not enough space to reach out and find that place of sublime creative genesis" he explains.
The show takes up where the previous show, the Jus B Happy Hour from 5 - 8 leaves off. The Jus'B Happy Hour showcases feature artist and jammers and is also hosted by Ebony Arunga. It has grown into an institution. S y n e r g y has a slightly different twist, more cerebral, loungy and eclectic it serves as a welcome continuation of the night.
Pegues has a passion for the experimental, the eclectic and he is searching for an original voice that is fresh, that is risk-taking, in these "iterations" many times, he finds this voice and we begin to see where he is going. As brainchild of the nu-jazz mixed media collaboration, thepeguesproject, we also have and opportunity to hear him performing selections from "the historicity of rodger pegues", his recently released cd. With s y n e r g y , Pegues invites everyone of every discipline, of every genre and of every flavor into the dynamic world of improvisation. It is a jam, a show, and an experience you don't wanna miss.

Get a taste of Gpa's flava:
I must be ugly.
I must be ugly because no one will give me a first glance.
If disgruntled wife took flight, like goods damaged or sinner sinning sins too many, not another maiden, fair or otherwise, would give this heart another love chance.
Work my mind and body out to present the best package as humanly possible.
Yet, even when standing in plain sight, I find that favorable words towards my cerebral or physical adeptness are not at all possible.
I must be ugly with the ugliness being an accursed curse cursed upon me women in my rearview window that I tried not too curse.
Father time ages assets, accentuations, and attributes that were my positives making matters worse.
Suffice to say that mama and daughter can bear to look at me.
Rhetorical the question then...doesn't that make me ugly?
UGLY

TWO SIDES OF ONE
HERS WORDS CUT LIKE THE KNIVES BY AN ASSASIN VIOLENT.
HER OUTGOING, OUTSPOKEN, AND OVERBEARING OUTBURSTS PALE IN COMPARISON THAN THE MALICE IN HER SILENCE.
CUMBERSOME ARE MY STEPS BECAUSE THE EGGSHELLS I MUST WALK ON ARE ALL EMCOMPASSING.
FEAR IN THESE DAYS OF LIFE'S EXISTENCE, WE ARE IN THE LAST DAYS OF A LOVE WAR WITH OUR LOVE PERHAPS SPEEDING SUICIDALLY TOWARDS ITS PASSING!
HER WORDS RALLY THE TROOPS, THE TROOPS BEING THE MULTIPERSONALITIES THAT UP THE MANIACAL EGO.
SHE IS THE FENCE THAT HAS STOOD IN BETWEEN THE INTERLOPERS, EVEN WHEN I HAVE BEEN IN SAID GROUP AND HASTILY DEPARTED FOR OTHER SHORES, SHE HAS NOT RELINQUISHED HER LOVE NOR LET ME GO.
THE MONOLOGUES OF HER VAGINA IS A WARM WELCOME WELCOMING ME WITH EACH SPOKEN WORD.
THE ALLOWANCE OF ANOTHER ANTAGONISTICALLY ADMONISHING AMOR ACTUALLY IS ABSURD.
CONFLICT RESOLUTION RESOLVES NOTHING AS AM CONFUSED BY CONFLICT THAT I DON'T EVEN KNOW MY OWN FUCKING NAME!
NO, THAT IS NOT IT; IT IS THAT THE TWO WOMEN I DESCRIBED...ARE ONE AND THE SAME!

Steve Nguyen is currently working on "I Love Yous are for White People: The Making of a Memoir", which is a short documentary based on the Harper Perennial published memoir of Lac Su, a young Vietnamese refugee at the time who struggled to find himself on the mean streets of West Hollywood. Lac's search for love and acceptance amid poverty not to mention the psychological turmoil created by a harsh and unrelenting father turned his young life into a comedy of errors and led him to a dangerous gang experience that threatened to tear his life apart. The documentary takes you through a journey of Lac's past revisited after 15 years. Heart-wrenching, irreverent, and ultimately uplifting, I Love Yous Are for White People is a memoir at its most affecting, depicting the struggles that countless individuals have faced in their quest to belong and that even more have endured in pursuit of a father's fleeting affection.
