Brian Blade, a name that speaks for itself in the world of music and dissolves all borders of genre. A name that is on a mile long, single column, 12 pt size font discography including names like Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Norah Jones, Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Kenny Garret, Herbie Hancock, Chris Potter, etc... A name that is owned by a man far too humble to list off his accomplishments and STILL manage to be an influence to entire generations of drummers, song-writers, and musicians alike. Brian Blade is primarily known for being behind the kit and supporting jazz/r&b musicians with an absolute tenderly bombastic touch, so much the music seems to play itself. In this tune however, he puts on his guitar, singer-songwriter, Americana, alt-rock, (whatever you want to call it) hat with the same affection. I know it's a long one, but I promise it will not disappoint.

As a fellow music educator, I want to thank you for all that you do. I started watching your videos during the beginning of January 2020 and you were the last thing I started watching seriously before the world shut down, so thank you for being there during the hard times, you were a real uplifter and kept a positive light on my view as an educator. All the best, Scottie.
