| My friend on Conan O'Brien? Yes he was! So, I get a text that I missed last night from my bros, Brett. The singer he's been playing with is up for a Grammy AND had a spot on Conan so he was performing!!!!
We've been close since 10th grade and he was the one that was responsible for me being a full-time musician for oh-so many years. Now I've done some pretty big gigs in my time (+5000 people shows), played with a Grammy winning band, and done some traveling, but wondered when was he going to get his.
He is probably one of the most highly respected guitarists in Detroit; constant music write ups and awards. For as many "famous" musicians and singers he has in his cell and projects he's done, I always wondered when he was going to get the national attention he deserves, Bar none... one of the best players you'll ever hear live and one of the most kind hearted souls around.
So a toast to you Brett! May the rewards you so rightly deserve finally be claimed by you!!! |
