Story #4 - Music for the Soul

“When I was in the service, I would hang out with musicians all the time,” he reminisced.

He played the saxophone for the U.S. Marine Band and the trombone player told him they should start a ska band together.

“I had never heard of ska before and my friend gave me The Specials CD and said it would change my life. I remember thinking, ‘I really like this!’

“I’ve been playing the sax again and love neo-soul. If Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings ever asked me to play with them, I’d leave everything to go on the road with them.”
