    Getting to see Lil Skateboard P on the snare was awesome! I feel blessed. That does not happen everyday. I was there, but I don’t see myself in any of the pictures. I had a wonderful time.
    To P, Shae, Fam: THANK YOU!!!

    I see ya’ll were in my old practicing room at Berkeley, High. Check out this old picture, I’m the only black person in the band besides the director Charles Hamilton. We were crowned “Best Jazz Ensemble in the Nation” from 2002-2004. Drummers Justin Brown and Thomas Pridgen along with saxophonist Joshua Redman came from this same band just to name a few. I’ve had the pleasure of playing with all of them. That was my brief history lesson for you.(research those names)

    Just noticed you spelled “Berkeley” wrong in the title of this post. More pictures from the Berkeley show. I don’t know why I’m looking like that, and I don’t know why Common is looking like that.lol
