SAMMY On Letterman-circa 1989 |
 | AFMMA
This is something I'm very proud of (I'm even prouder of my wife for effectively facilitating this organization). The people of the country of Mali (in Northwest Africa) need our help. We have a way to do it very effectively (Red Cross take note!!). We have no costs, so we are able to raise money that goes directly to assist people with medical help, education, even infrastructural needs. |
 | Harry Shearer
You know him as Spinal Tap's Derek Smalls, as Principal Skinner, Ned Flanders & many other characters on The Simpsons, but I know him as Harry Shearer- dry-witted, bass-playin' hilarious fool who has a great syndicated weekly radio program Le Show. |
 | IK Multimedia
Thes guys make some really powerful music software that's a great source for making soundscapes, grooves, whatever! I love their Sonik Synth and Sample Tank software. Thanks Randy Fuchs at artistrelations.com for introducing me back when! |
 | M-Audio
One of the greatest companies I've ever dealt with. Kevin Walt and his partners are developing the hippest software and hardware available to us music makers. AND they are even helping out one of the most important people in my life, Mike Brecker. See what I mean by checking out M-Audio.com! |
 | Brian Regan
He's the greatest comic around. Brian makes me laugh so hard, my daily vocabulary is filled with quotes from Brian's CD DVD. And guess what? His comedy is safe for kids, grandma, ANYBODY. Strangely, Brian works without ever being "dirty"! How is he so funny? By pointing out the absurdities of life from his own point of view. (photo by Brian Friedman) |
 | Jodi Head Guitar Straps
You might think "guitar straps-big deal, they just keep your guitar from falling to the ground, right?" Well in the case of Jodi Head, she's made it a real art form. When you see your favorite guitar-playing artist and they're wearing a strap that makes you really take notice, chances are it was made by Jodi. She is simply the best at her craft. I exclusively use Jodi Head straps! |
 | Dennis Chambers
Drummer extry-ordinaire Dennis Chambers is one of those cats who'll happily play a groove in the tastiest way, but look out - this gun is loaded and could go off when least expected- he's got a hair-trigger. One of my favorite groovemakers since his P-Funk daze! |
 | Jason Miles
An unstoppable force in the music world, Jason Miles along with wife Kathy, is part of a great song writing team, one of the baddest synth programmers in the business, and one of today's most prolific producers and arrangers. Check out this awesome cat! |
 | Bob Babbitt
Here's a guy I've always looked up to as a man with tremendous musicianship, having run into him all over NYC during my first buncha years in town. He's the bassist with the Funk Brothers-He's a little too humble to tell you himself, but Bob Babbitt played on a ridiculous amount of R&B & Motown classics. Finally, he's letting his site do the talking about ALL those great records. |
 | Terry Silverlight
Terry is one of the most inspired songwriters and drummers ever. No one can do what he does. His new CD is Wild! He and I produced it. He's amazing! |
 | Bette Sussman
What do you call a person who is bright, charming, hilarious, quick-witted, grooves, writes, and sings her ass off? I call her Skeezer but she's known to the world as Bette Sussman. |
 | Warren Haynes
Great Guitarist with the Allman Brothers amazing voice of Gov't Mule and the hardest working man these days, Warren is simply awesome! |
 | Steve Lukather

 | John Tropea
You've heard him on tons of albums, He is one of the funkiest cats there is. He's like a brother to me. No wait, He IS my brother. Oh yeah, and it's pronounced "TRO-PAY" |
