I have the privilege and pleasure of playing Bill's 102nd birthday bash this saturday! There will be another bass player, krystin Korb, who is one of the few female upright bass masters around who will be playing in the main group (and one of my favorite bass players, period) , along with Frank DeVito and some other pretty famous jazz musicians. it's going to be great!

Bill was recently featured on the radio, playing some live tunes with me on bass, Palika on guitar and a guy named Ali on the ukelele...

And stay tuned for some news about an upcoming CD Bill appears on. it's a compilation CD of several Ukelele masters, and Bill and I did 3 songs which will be on the CD...hopefully, someone will announce the release and purchase information!

When they say Bill is still working at his age, it's no understatement! This man really works, constantly!!!
