VOCAL PERCUSSION MASTER CLASS
=-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-=

On March 3, I will be giving a vocal
percussion master class at the Jazzschool
in Berkeley CA. This class isn't for beginners;
it's for folks who already have a working
grasp of the basics of vocal percussion,
and want to delve deeper into technique.

Class size will be limited to 10 students,
to ensure personal attention for everyone.
If you are interested in the class, go to

for more information on the audition process.

L.A. SHOW WITH AUSTIN WILLACY
=-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-=

I have a show in Los Angeles this Wednesday,
Feb 13. I'll be vocal-percussing with my
friend Austin Willacy's band. His music is sort
of like Lenny Kravitz meets Dave Matthews.
The band consists of two guitars, bass, and
me on mouth drums. Trust me, it slams.
The info:

Wed Feb 13 -- 9pm
Austin Willacy at The Mint
6010 West Pico Blvd., LA CA 90035
(323) 954-9630

I'd love to see some of you SoCal folk there.

SYLVAN SPOTS RUNNING NATIONWIDE
=-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-=

These days I make most of my living talking
and singing on commercials, cartoons, video
games, and so on. Towards the end of last
year I landed a plum gig as the voice of
Sylvan Learning Centers, and now those
TV and radio spots are running nationwide.

I'm the one warmly intoning, "This moment
brought to you by Sylvan Learning Center.
If your child is struggling in school..." etc.
If you happen to catch it, drop me a line.

DILEMMA CD RELEASED

The female a cappella quintet Dilemma has
just released their first CD, called Dilemma.
I provided the funky-azz vocal percussion
on two tracks: "Can't Get Next To You" and
"Don't Leave Me This Way." To purchase
the CD online, visit one of the following:

NEW WEB SITE!
=-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-= =-=

I've just unveiled my brand-spankingly-new
Web site, where you can check out many of
the various things I've been up to lately --
including my musical activities, voiceover and
naming work, games and puzzles, poetry of
questionable merit, and so on. Lots and lots
of soundclippings of vocal-percussings,
singings, and crazy speakings. Check it out at:

Well, that's probably enough for now.
I hope this message finds you well.
See you soon.


Cheers,
