Turns out it doesn't even matter if the sound goes out for an entire minute in the middle of a concert if you have the right audience. Great job, everyone at MGM Music Hall at Fenway! And thanks to #LuisConte for the percussion-eye view. youtu.be/NHcAFVxvuEE

I'm forever grateful for our time together and particularly glad that we reconnected last year in Sydney. It was so good to see him so happy and whole. For that, I thank his Judy…

I need to acknowledge that Richard, more than any doctor or recovery professional, guided me to this life beyond addiction. He showed me how to appreciate my physical health & that set me free.

We recently lost our friend Richard Norton. There won't be another like him in my life and my heart goes out to Judy, his wife & life partner. I know what her love meant to him.
