After 50 years in prison…There’s nothing like a good footrub.

As crazy as this seems, Bishop Eugene Tannehill, the man in the FARM who had spent 50 years behind bars is now living 10 blocks from my home in Brooklyn. What’s more amazing is just how incredibly smooth the transition was.  The reason is his faith in God is so strong that nothing shakes him.  His energy is unequaled..In his mid 70′s he still jogs daily and whenever given the opportunity he lets loose in his preachings as though he were back in Angola channeling the drams and hopes of 5000 men and the scripture of the Good Book.   I was at his house recently and he reminded me that the first time we met he told me, God had a plan for him and it included New York City.  Well here he is and New York barely knows what they’ve got in their midst.

We’re filming this week and he’s going to play Saxophone with world class jazz bass player, Curtis Lundy (who also scored THE FARM 10 years ago).  We’re filming it so you can see for yourself.
