I am currently sitting backstage in the dressing room at the legendary Apollo theatre.  I am performing tonight with a bunch of wonderful musicians and people.  Wycliffe Gordon, the wonderful, talented and charismatic trombonist asked me if I would be part of this.  Other performers include, Savion Glover(The legendary tap dancer), Carla Cook, Corey Wilcox, Niki Yasnofsky, the Temple big band a wonderful comedian and dancers!  This performance is a tribute to the old performances that happened at the Apollo.  The set up is more of a "variety show” style where lots of performers on the bill and do get features along with combinations with other artists.  I’m really excited, I’m sure its going to be a really fun performance and that the audience will really dig it.  We went through rehearsal/sound check today.  It was amazing that all the different parts and people could come together the day of the performance and   rehearse and suddenly we have a show! I have still yet to find the famous "log” that everyone historically has rubbed their hands on.  When I have been telling people that I’m performing here at the Apollo a bunch of them have said "rub the log!!”  I have still yet to find the log. the crew didn’t seem to know where it was at the moment.  :-O maybe it moves around?  Perhaps it’s got legs? Ha! ha!, that would be a very special log.
