Jamming with Stevie Wonder...yes, in person

Yes, it's true...I jammed with Stevie Wonder.

No, really, I did. Look at the pictures. That's Stevie Wonder sitting at the piano with the sunglasses!

I played with the Atlanta Symphony on Sunday for the 90th birthday part of Reverend Lowery. Look him up if you don't recognize his name - MLK's right-hand man in the Civil Rights movement, an amazing man who has literally changed our country.


It was a 4-hour birthday extravaganza!

Also sharing the stage with me and Stevie Wonder were the Attorney General of the United States, Pres. Obama's personal assistant, Soledad O'Brien from CNN, Al Sharpton, Andrew Young, and Martin Luther King III to name a few.

And yes, of course we played "Sir Duke!" It was AWESOME!

Wow. Pretty much after this week of celebrity emails from the fam, and now this, I have to say, I don't think I will ever be cool enough, but maybe I can be cool by association? That is so AWESOME!
