| Hanging out at the National Guitar Workshop with Allan Holdsworth. July 2005 |
 |
| This picture was taken at a concert I played with guitarist John Abercrombie in Toronto. John is a great listener and interactive player, as well as a very funny guy. On bass is my friend John Yelland and on guitar to the far right is the great guitarist Rob Bulger. |  |
| This is another picture of Joe Morello and myself. I did a three part interview with Joe which appears in my book series "The Complete Drumset Method" by Alfred. The interview has some interesting information on how Joe got started playing drums, and different musical concepts. I always think of Joe not just as a great technical drummer, but also as one of the most melodic players on the instrument. Check out his solos on "Sounds of the loop" and "Watusi Drums." |
 |
| This is a concert I played a few years ago with the guitarist Larry Coryell. On bass is John Yelland, one of Toronto's finest musicians. |  |

 |
| This picture was taken right after a concert I played with the great guitarist Robben Ford in Chicago. I remember telling him a joke at the time and he fell out. |  |

| Guitarist Carey DeNigris, Pete Sweeney, and bassist Pete Toigo. Carey is an excellent guitarist, who has performed for years in Chico Hamilton's group. This was a gig at Justin's in Albany, NY. |  |
| Redd, Pete, and the Dude. |  |
| Bob Moses and myself. Bob is one of my favorite musicians, and a very original creative spirit. He likes to be called "Rakalam," a name given to him by Tisziji Munos. |  |
| Joe Morello and I. This was taken about 10 years ago. I have studied with Joe on and off for years, and he is one the finest people I have ever known. A great drummer and a true gentleman |  |
| Redd and the Dude lounging on the bed. |  |
| Here's a picture backstage with John Abercrombie and Rob Bulger. A lot of laughs that day! |  |
