Last weekend I gave an informal tour of the Hewitt Collection at The Harvey Gantt Center, and what a breath taking 58-piece-collection it is. If you haven't done so, please stop by the Gantt Center to learn about John and Vivian Hewitt.

After the tour, I was stopped in my tracks by this group of talented beauties called the Blac Catt Band. They were playing on the next level, and the band was awesome! Cheers to the band and drummer Cree Love for giving me the 411. Make sure you check them out.
