FAVOURITE ALBUM YOU DIDN’T PLAY ON: Steve Gadd Band- Way Back Home, Live from Rochester, NY
CAREER HIGHLIGHT: Performing Symphonie Fantastique by Hector Berlioz with our new music director, Courtney Lewis- during the third movement storm section, I felt so very in touch with my three percussion colleagues- our musical communication was so deep, it was like we were reading each others minds!
