There are moments when reading Rolling Stone, AP, or Downbeat that I thought to myself that the icons and idols inked on to the paper were untouchable. As I grew to learn more about playing with others, I learned one fact that to me is the core of playing in ensemble. Each band or group started out with a connection. A connection that not only allowed each member to grow, but their collective musicianship to be nourished. A true musicians strength comes from the musician standing next to him...
I am thankful enough to share the stage with my best friends... bottom line.
