Cabus

Today marks 25 years since September 11, 2001.

That day, I was working as a Human Resources Director at a hospital in California, desperately trying to reach my sister, who worked just a few blocks from the Twin Towers.

Thankfully, she and her husband made it out safely.

So many people didn’t.

I’ve never forgotten that feeling, and I’ve never forgotten the lives lost, the families who still carry that loss, the first responders, and everyone whose life changed forever that day.

Today also happens to be the day my new song “Keep Walking” is released.

The song came from the hardest three years of my own life, but somewhere along the way I realized it wasn’t just about my story.

Through the fear.
Through the pain.
Through the dark and through the rain.

We all carry something. And sometimes the most important thing we can remind each other is that we don’t have to carry it alone.

If you have a chance to listen to “Keep Walking” today, I hope you’ll also take a moment to think about the people we lost 25 years ago, the families who still carry that loss, and everyone whose life changed that day.

This made my day/week!!! Thank you KXT! I can’t wait to share this new song with you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Homegrown Artist of the Week: Larry Gee 🎶

Dallas soul-pop and funk artist Larry Gee knows what it means to keep walking.

After being diagnosed with advanced kidney disease in May 2023, the Dallas-based artist continued to perform, finding solace, self-care and therapy through music. His journey inspired his 2024 EP The Get Back, a collection of unreleased songs he rediscovered during his music hiatus.

Now, two years (and a kidney transplant!) later, Larry Gee is releasing his first new song in 11 years “Keep Walking.”

Listen to Larry Gee on the KXT airwaves all week long.

Hi friends who follow me on this page. I need your help.

For the past few years, I’ve been trying to get Facebook to change the name of this page back to Larry Gee, but for some reason, they won’t let me change it.

If anyone knows someone at Facebook or has a contact there who might be able to help me figure out why, I would really appreciate it. I just want to get my name back!

Thank you in advance!

Good News to share: It's been a long, long time coming but next month I'm going to release a brand new song for the first time in 11 years.

There's so much more to this tune and what it represents but here's a little back story behind the song.
Keep Walking

Read the captions on the photos to learn more.

First off, THANK YOU to everyone who has already cast a vote for me. ❤️ Every single one means so much.

Every vote for me goes toward supporting the National Kidney Foundation National Kidney Foundation and the work they do for kidney patients, families, education, advocacy, research and spreading awareness about kidney health.

Being named the first Kidney Hero of the Year would honestly mean the world to me. Not just because of the recognition, but because of what I hope it can lead to.

One of my biggest goals this year and beyond is to continue growing as an advocate and work alongside the National Kidney Foundation in a real way, helping people going through kidney disease, sharing what I’ve learned through my own journey and spreading the word about kidney health around the world.

I never imagined this would become such a big part of my purpose, but I’m embracing it completely.

Voting ends August 18 at midnight. If you’ve already voted, thank you from the bottom of my heart. And if you can’t vote, sharing my story and helping spread the word means just as much. 💚

Thank you to the for this nomination and for giving me a platform to share my story. 🧡Never in my life did I think I’d become an advocate for kidney health, but life can change in a split second. Today I fully embrace this purpose and use my voice for people fighting kidney disease, trying to stay off dialysis, waiting for a transplant, and everyone who just needs that reminder to take their health seriously. To my friends, family, fellow musicians and everyone I love: get your checkups. Check your blood pressure. Get your blood work and your eyes checked. Don’t wait until something feels wrong.This transplant gave me a second chance at life and a whole new way of looking at it. While I’m here, I want to make it count and hopefully help someone else along the way. Keep walking

💚 I’m incredibly honored to share that I’ve been nominated as one of only 8 finalists nationwide for the National Kidney Foundation’s inaugural Kidney Hero of the Year.

Just a little over a year ago, I received a life-saving kidney transplant. To now be recognized alongside seven other incredible people in the kidney community is something I never imagined. This nomination is bigger than me—it’s about bringing awareness to kidney disease, organ donation, and the thousands of people still waiting for a second chance.

🚨 IMPORTANT: I DO NOT RECEIVE ANY OF THIS MONEY. 🚨

Every donation goes directly to the National Kidney Foundation—not to me. The fundraiser serves as the voting process for this campaign, but the funds support NKF’s mission through patient education, advocacy, kidney disease research, living donor awareness, transplant programs, and resources for kidney patients and their families.

I’m also blown away by the response already. In less than 24 hours, we’ve raised $325 toward the campaign. Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared the fundraiser, and reached out with encouraging messages. Your support means the world to me.

If my story has encouraged you in any way, I’d be honored if you’d consider supporting the National Kidney Foundation through my campaign. And if donating isn’t possible, sharing this post and helping raise awareness means just as much.

Thank you for walking this journey with me. 💚
