Then he finally got a chance to actually play with numerous bands. His insight was so pure from being in some of those similar situations growing up around go go.I applaud you my friend and would like to have an extensive conversation with you about Rare Essence...

Howard clark2016-04-06Verified Five Stars GO AND BUY IT Angela Summers2015-11-18Verified A must There is a certain type of flavor added to the reading when you have the author telling the story. It is PRICELESS hearing your emotion.The way your passion is punctuated is PRICELESS.Your rendition of Teddy Riley's "Runpshaker"...PRICELESSI love the way each chapter opens with a Go-Go interlude.Take Me Out to the Go-Go is refreshing for those of us who know and appreciate the music and informative to those being introduced.Thanks a thousand times...Thanks. -Angela Renee Summers TW2015-08-25Verified Great book so far Great book so far. With every detail I put myself in the same time and place as Kato and imagine it as if I were actually there. Definitely takes me back to my younger days of living in the DMV, in the 80's, when all of my older cousins would always party and go to the go-go's. Kudos and thank you Kato for sharing your story! Love and Blessings! ~Tasha A. L. N.2015-08-01Verified I loved this book I loved this book. It was very insightful regarding the Go-Go culture, but more importantly Mr Hammond's journey within this culture. Hard to put down once you start. Thank you for sharing your journey Kato. C Anthony2015-07-22Verified A fantastic first book A fantastic first book, Kato Hammond gives insight into both the journey of a man and the emergence of a musical movement. It is unlikely that such insight has been made into DC's Go Go music scene, so this is a welcome introduction for the uninitiated. Look forward to a sequel in the foreseeable future. Tyrone Edward Queen2015-07-20Verified Go Go Past, Present & Future I was able to take a trip to the past while reading the insightful book. Go Go has been a intricate part of my family since I was a young boy. I continue to support Go Go and all who have contributed through the years. I look forward to the next project Kato Hammond pulls from under his hat! Ericka Blount2015-07-15Verified Excellent Well written insiders perspective on the scene that I grew up in. I couldn't put it down and relived the time period that was one of the best in DC and memories of my childhood
