It’s hard for me to believe that it’s been 30 years since 1992. At that time I was still in elementary school, on the verge of finishing 5th grade and going into 6th. It honestly doesn’t feel like that long ago, but I suppose that might be a good thing. I was thinking about this yesterday after I saw an advertisement for a 30th anniversary release of the album Funky Divas by En Vogue. I was fortunate enough to do a little bit of work on this anniversary edition, and it was nice to see it finally come out. Growing up where I did, I would have never imagined that I’d have such an opportunity all these years later.
