More satisfied customers of Ain’t Too Proud- Judy and Jerry Clough. They are the parents to three of the coolest people I know. Matt, Jennifer and one of my closest friends, Larisa. They came to see my show today and it was great catching up with them. I think the last time I saw them…

Life… It’s amazing how things happen. When I was in junior high, I tried out for the 8th grade basketball team. I had to go one-on-one against a kid who seemed like he was already 6’4” while I was 4’8” or so. I did my best Curly Neal/Harlem Globetrotter impression and dribbled around him. I…

I met these two women through social media. They were big fans of Ain’t Too Proud since the beginning. We found a way to meet in person while the show was in Los Angeles. We instantly had a connection, and over the past few months, we have gotten to know more about each other. In…

I have been following Modern Drummer since I was a young man just learning how to play the drums. At one point in time, I owned just about every issue from 1979-1999. I kept them all in a trunk in my parents’ basement. I passed them on when I moved into my new place here…

A comment from this youtube video: “I hope the band will be able to perform in the pit at The Kennedy Center and especially when the extraordinary show goes to Broadway. I saw the show at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre. Due to space restrictions at the Rep, the band had no choice but to play…

I just started a workshop of a new musical in the works called “Diana.” It had much of the same crew as “Memphis,” the show I was a part of back in 2009. If these people are behind it, I’m sure it’s good! “According to Broadway.com, the world premiere of Diana — an original musical…
