Vince Oliver, sitting-in on the sax with The Sassy  Brown Band.....wow!

I had the pleasure of meeting Steve Lowery this past weekend. Steve is an international known musician and artist who has worked with some of the finest musicians and celebrities around the world.......Muhammad Ali, Salvador Dali, The Neville Brothers, Jaco Pastorius, and (drum roll please) the greatest drummer to ever walk the planet: Buddy Rich. His stories on hanging out with Buddy, drawing his portraits, seeing him up close and personal, and of course, watching him night after night lead a full orchestra/band AND perform his incredible feats of rudiments behind the drum kit must have been incredible. Thanks for the time Steve!

Great, great gig this past weekend with The Sassy Brown Band (Lauren "Sassy" Brown, Matt Willis, Barry Wasserman and me) at Daniel Day Gallery/Dream Mecca. Thanks to Melody Musick and Daniel Day for opening their awesome venue to the SBB family and friends.....let's do it again soon!

Here's my son VJ....he just learned the 4/4 Rock and Roll beat today (2/7/13).........it made me really proud. He just turned 5, and at the rate he's going, will be replacing me at my gigs before his next birthday. I love you son!  johnoliverdrums
