Dwayne A. RatleffDancing to the Lyrics is a timeless and timely coming-of-age tale. Through the eyes of the young protagonist, Grant Cole, we are offered a first-hand account of an African American gay youth who perseveres in spite of personal and family obstacles as well as the larger challenges of his era.As Grant struggles to comprehend his own nature, his world, and the adults who populate it, he observes and emotionally reacts to the assassinations of MLK and RFK, the Baltimore riots, the Vietnam War and more. Poverty, accompanied by crime, violence and fear, is his frequent companion, but his own vivid imagination and close relationships with his younger sisters, various family members and friends bring hope and humor into his life.While Grant witnesses the abuse of his mother at the hands of a cruel stepfather, and discovers the man he doesn't want to be, he strives continually toward understanding the person he was born to be. He learns crucial lessons from his life teachers: faith and pragmatism from his grandparents, and open-mindedness and self-acceptance from a diverse cast of unconventional but kindly characters woven throughout his story.While very much an individual's story of overcoming adversity during a specific point in time and place – 1960's America – Dancing to the Lyrics also provides a lens through which we can view events in our current time. The lessons that young Grant learns are as relevant today as ever and discerning them through the eyes of such an insightful youngster is a revelation.Buy the book: https://www.amazon.com/Dancing-Lyrics-Finding-Inner-Rhythm/dp/1735525308/ Photo: Copyright Wilkinson/2022Opening and closing music courtesy the very talented Zakhar Valaha via Pixabay.To contact Wilkinson- email him at BecomingWilkinson@gmail.com

MICHIGAN OUT OF DOORS TV - JENNY (OLSON) CIOLEK Despite the pandemic, Michigan Out of Doors TV has filled the frames of televisions on PBS channels, Thursday nights, as it has for years. Cohost Jenny Ciolek shares how they have kept up with the show and how different it is to produce in today's digital age. www.michiganoutofdoorstv.com DON'T THROW IT AWAY! - GRANT COLE Four words I have used on many occasions. As an antiques dealer and picker myself, I believe that almost everything old has a value. Especially when it comes to old sportsman's gear! Decoys, fishing tackle and especially the original packaging that they came in, all have a value. Auctioneer and appraiser, Grant Cole, can help identify and find the right buyer with his group at Auctioneers Inc., of Beulah, MI. We'll talk about a few of the key things to look for.

After a week off from recording ... (the boys were in TCB mode), we recap you on everything MLR. Uncle Johnny has a couple of bones to pick in his State of the Rugby Union, last week's game recaps features the spiciest scrummy, first-team all-hair, #RigJealousy, Dan Power and Grant Cole's awkward broadcast chemistry, we take different stands on heckling kickers, and our premier of "Eighty Minute Men". HARPO sends a goodbye text, we get some strange voicemails, Thanking Doug, Player Try Pool, our hopeful outlook on the Eagle's June Test games and next week's MLR spreads and picks. All that and more on this week's Rugby PickEm.
We learned A LOT in week 2, and like all you fans ... were frothing for more. In Seattle, HARPO sees a familiar face and we have our first plus sized athlete of the week. Down in Houston, Grant Cole snatches the announcing crown, and Bt has a case of #rigjealously. In San Diego, Nate Augsburger is our spiciest scrummy of the week, and we deliver our first official MLR first-team all-hair as we break down some Utah Warriors's hair-dos. Voicemail, Thanking Doug, Player Try Pool, and Week 3 PickEm .... (including HARPO's sure thing Derby winner) ... there's a little bit of everything this week on Rugby PickEm!
