Ladies and gentlemen…GIG MAN!

Happy birthday, to my mentor, boss and dear friend, John Beasley. Your brilliance is an inspiration. Have a fantastic day, Maestro!☮️❤️🎺

When I first met Laura, one of the first things she required of me was to get Minnie to shake my hand. So I put out my hand and said “shake” and she did it. I was in, I was officially accepted into the pack. Minnie was such a source of joy and pure love and it breaks my heart that we had to say goodbye. She loved riding in the car and during lockdown when there was nothing else to do, we would take daily long drives just for fun. She was the queen of our castle, wherever we were. I’ll miss her terribly but I know that we were lucky to know her. Rest easy, sweet Minnie. ❤️

Had a great show with The Azar Lawrence Experience at Yoshi’s tonight!

Hope to see you tonight at Casey’s Tavern 8 to 11 PM!

I’ll be singing and playing as the featured guest this Thursday night with Four and More at Casey’s Tavern in Canoga Park! NOT TO BE MISSED!☮️❤️🎺

Happy 79th Birthday to my favorite living trumpet player, Tom Harrell. I was so fortunate to have been introduced to your playing and writing in my formative years. Meeting you, performing with you and becoming your friend has made an immeasurably profound impact on my life.
Much love to you, Maestro!☮️❤️🎺
