I'm a musician and educator living in Brooklyn, NY. Also, check my band out at www.myspace.com/eastwestquintet, we play some shows now and then, maybe you could come to one of them? Seriously, I'll give you like $5...
Hey Dylan, that's Lester himself singing on Two to Tango! That's a pretty funny song. The only song that I know of that he sings on. I just got this amazing audio interview with Lester. I can't believe that it exists, it's so candid! He's my favorite at the moment, just trying to learn all those early solos.
Hey Dylan! I just booked a plane ticket. I'm going to Seattle in late July/early August. You going to Pete's wedding or Seattle celebration? I will also be in New York with some of my Den Haag buddies Aug. 6-15. You around?
Thanks He-Nuggets! Ill be back home soon... Feb 17 for the week. Still looking for a place, but have something lined up for this next stay. Hang soon brotha!
Yes, I think Richard Pyryor Live in Concert is the greatest stand up film of all time. Thanks for the photo! Is it possible for you to send it in an email so I can add it to my photos? Playing at Egan's was a blast! You sound great!
Dylan, May is starting to look good for a week in the city... stay tuned... or not, but yeah, i'm excited at the possibility. Hope your new year is rockin so far.
