If you have ever performed any form of Jazz, Blues, Rock n Roll, R&B, Soul, Funk, Hip Hop, Great American Songbook, actually any form of popular song from anywhere… you will find a reflection of your journey in this very well written essay. Thank you Christian McBride, and The Tonearm.
"I had been so worried about screwing up the changes on any given gig that even when I played with singers, I wasn’t really listening to the melody or the words. I was watching the piano player. Or the guitarist. So I asked Ray who I should start with. He said, 'Nat, Ella… and Frank.'"

Bruce Springsteen 'Piece De Resistance' Passaic N.J. 9/19/78

A good friend sent me a cassette copy of this bootleg in 1978, it changed my life.

The performance of 'Darkness On The Edge of Town' is my favorite 4 minutes of Rock n Roll.

I have a crazy way of reporting on 'No Kings' that's different from the NYT...I go out and talk to protesters about what they think

Sure, size matters, but so does the passion of a movement offering the 4-letter word that beats back dictators

We're reminding President Trump what it means to be born in the U.S.A.

We're honored that the one and only Bruce Springsteen trusted us with use of his iconic anthem ahead of our landmark Supreme Court case, where we’re challenging President Trump’s attempt to overturn birthright citizenship.
