Sweet, Vinnie, sweet stuff. One of the hidden joys of teaching is you don't ever really know what resonates with your students––you might hear or read something in the next week but usually it's something that resonates with them years later and you rarely hear that. That's fine, just keep moving it forward!
Thanks for continuing to share your journey with us.
Making the transition from being a teacher to a "player" - in qoutation marks because of the layers of meaning, struggle, and intention/commitment contained in that word - in NYC...hell, ANYWHERE...is no small accomplishment. May you continue to be inspired...and paid! Play on.🙏🏽🤗
Beautifully written. Couldn't agree more. Thank you. Yep players like Chick Webb,Sonny Greer etc. are still vital historically and Musically. Important stuff.
Wonderful, so good to read. In your list of your teachers, I see you inadvertently left out Mr Jimmy Johns. Also, last night Mike Cortese and Mike Dubaniewicz said "Say hello to Vinnie for me"
Yeah Vin, beautiful! Thanks for that
Thanks GUI!
