DJ Real) by Jed Lapp (Cozmo Jethro) published on 2024-01-01T18:39:25Z Written, performed, mixed and mastered: Cozmo Jethro Chorus vocals: Jenny Cuts by DJ Real Roy Ralston voice: Korey Reed Album art picture taken at Barton Colisseum in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA in 1984. My dad, Forbes Lapp, seated in the foreground on the left. Ronnie Kestenbaum, standing to his right. Lyrics: This summer I took my 86 year old dad across the country to meet up with folks I hadn’t seen since 1984 when I was 8 years old. A little background on this story. About my Dad and his buddy Ronnie. A couple ball players from the Bronx. Back in the 50s they would light it up. In the 70s they coached together at Stevenson HS in the South Bronx. Which was ground zero for the birth of hip hop. Together they won back to back NYC HS basketball championships. Refining their skills and teachin the kids. Setting their sights on the next level they did. They moved together to D1 college at University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Won 2 conference championships during their stay Than in '84, they went their own way. Traveling back to the past. Make sure you got your boarding pass. Across the country, see old friends at last. And at the bash raise your glass. So this summer it was Ronnie’s 80th Birthday party. He was holding a bash in Florida All the way on the other side of the country. I was like Dad, yo we gotta go. You gotta go see your old buddies. So we packed our stuff and hopped a couple of planes right across the country. As we walked into Ronnie’s house. With his family and friends it was like being in NYC again. Everybody’s loud, talking at the same time. With their NYC accents. Then Russel, Ronnie’s son walks in, He’s deaf, and his talk is so distinctive. Instantly transformed back to '84. When me and Russel used to play together. The next night at the bash. I sat with my Dad and Kevin Brown. One of my Dad’s players from Bronx. He also DJed during the birth of Hip Hop. It was enlightening talking with Kevin Brown who was involved in that scene. Involved in hip hop, since it's infancy. Another old D1 player who attended, Roy Ralston. A rowdy, big, loud country boy, fit in well with the New Yorkers. He picked me up almost over his head, shaking me and shouting, “Jeddy you’re a kid! Jeddy you’re a kid! Jeddy you’re a kid! Jeddy you're a kid." Traveling back to the past Make sure you got your boarding pass. Across the country, see old friends at last. And at the bash raise your glass. I remember all these people As larger than life figures when I was a kid. Seein them this summer, bein on their level. That was something really special. It was like traveling back to my past. At long last it was actually a blast.
