The TMOTTRadio Indiegogo Campaign Project
For the past two years, the TMOTTGoGo Internet Radio Station (TMOTTRadio) has been running all of its programs pre-recorded. As wonderful as this is, what has been missing is our ability to communicate in real-time with our listening audience… giving them the ability in share in dialog and communication. We understand that the continued growth of this musical culture relies a lot on audience participation. This means that in order to achieve that, we must go LIVE!
Wishing You A Peaceful Journey, Polo!
As we are learning today of the passing of one Reggie “Polo” Burwell, we would like to send our sincere prayers and condolences up and out to the family, friends, and entire Go-Go family.
As with the Godfather himself Chuck Brown, Polo, with his band TCB, ushered in a new sound to a generation in this culture that will forever be stamped with his name as the Bounce Beat King.
A humbled man who was passionate about his love for Go-Go its culture, Polo fought a long good fight. And although we wanted him to remain here, God needed home. And I can feel the words as God whispers, “Well done, they good faithful servant.”

Rest In Paradise, Sugar Foot Ricky
We are sadden to report this morning that passing of Legendary drummer “Sugar Foot” Ricky Wellman. Ricky, who trail-blazed the drums and go-go sound in this industry, lost his battle to cancer.
Many no doubt, know, love, and remember Ricky as one of (if not the most) phenomenal drummers to come through this music industry… through the years with such groups as Chuck Brown and the Soul Searchers, Experience Unlimited, Miles Davis, Maiesha & The Hiphuggers, and many others. As a matter of fact, Ricky is the drummer playing on Chuck’s “Bustin Loose” hit. Not to mention that he has inspired generations of drummers who came up behind him.
Without a doubt, Ricky will be truly missed, but through the music that he has given us, his presence will forever be known and ring on in Go-Go… as a matter of fact, in music general!
We would like to take this time and send our condolences and prayers up and out to the Wellman family!
