Road Warrior....

I get alot of emails/comments about my life on the road asking how can
i stand all this up and down!

Frankly when u love what u do as much as i do and your able to share it
with countless folks around the world.....there is no other option
ya dig?
There is no rhyme or reason to what we do......it's a kind of calling
i think.
Students are always curious about how they can get to the point of
doing the same thang.....i just say be prepared, professional and have
a good attitude/wk ethic and everything that's supposed to come to u
will....i think that goes with anything u do in life.

I'm now jumping on the second half of a Joshua Redman trio tour going
to Asia after i jumped off for a couple weeks to join the Charles
Lloyd Quartet for a European run...(which was amazing by
the way).
Have i ever told ya'll how much i like the Japanese culture? (even
though it can be a little rigid at times). :)

I can truly say that I am blessed to be playing music on a very high
level with some of the baddest boys in da buisness.....Wow.
Thanks fellas.(that nod is to Schway AND Chuck + company btw) :0)
