Scuttlebutt - April 17

April 17, 2025

What a thrill to watch your former student, Lars Thorsen, one of the sweetest humans on the planet, bring down the house at Bridgestone Arena. Just wow!

So great to dig into the details with Michael Jamanis on his wonderful podcast Music Un-Tuxed. Be sure to subscribe to it on YT. Click below to watch and tune in on April 27 for a live chat about the interview.

Looking forward to getting back to the wonderful vibe at Blue Strawberry in St. Louis in a few weeks, on Saturday, May 10! Going to be another all-star line-up of local guests!

I was just up in St. Louis last week playing with Bach to the Future, Roy Wooten and the University City Symphony and hanging with some of my very talented friends.
