You have produced, and been a session player on a lot of albums; as well as performing w/your own band. You have appeared on a lot of tv talk shows, and opened for various concert tours, one being Jeff Bates. You're good, I know; I see your name in the album sleeves here on your profile page. Enjoy having you as a friend.
