Cool Hundo


Got tipped a hundred dollar bill after playing Snoop Dogg's "Who Am I (What's My Name?)" at the UBG last June. Some dude named "Patrice" came up to the stage afterwards and said a few brief kind words and stuck his hand out. As we shook hands, I felt a bit of paper in his hand, like some illegal transaction, y'know? After he walked away, I thought, Wow, he just tipped me some cash, maybe a fiver or a ten! I was shocked when I opened my palm to see a Benjamin looking back at me! Awesome.

After packing up my gear, I wanted to thank "Patrice" for his generosity. I noticed he was walking out the door. I yelled "Thanks alot, Patrice". He nodded and said "My cousin woulda loved that" and walked out the door.

Well, thanks again, Patrice, whoever you are. And whoever your cousin is!

Pictured is me at the Cock and Bull in Venice the following weekend proudly displaying the jack.

"Harold" - The Movie

As some of you know, I did the music for my friend T. Sean Shannon's feature film directorial debut called "Harold". It's a comedy starring Spencer Breslin, Cuba Gooding, Jr, Ally Sheedy, Nikki Blonsky and a strong supporting cast that includes Fred Willard, Chris Parnell & Colin Quinn.

The star of the film, Spencer Breslin, will be on the Tonight Show w/Jay Leno tomorrow (WED), June 11th. He'll be discussing the movie and I hear they're showing a clip, so tune in if you can.

"Harold" opens next month on July 11th in NY & LA.

They just put together a trailer for it. Please enjoy...

Pics from Chez Adele, Paris

A few pics (courtesy of Anthony Curtis) setting up and getting started at Chez Adele, Paris. Some great nites there. Chez Adele is right by the canals, in the 10th arrondissement. The fellow seen singing with me was a local musician, an excellent singer with great scatting abilities. We were vamping on "Good To Know" in french ("C'est bon à savoir..."). Celui-ci est pour Stickardo!
