So, good news! This past Sunday's brunch with yours truly as the entertainer has been extended for the next two Sundays!
Here's your chance to make it for the performance you missed this past Sunday!

Lew Taylor will perform from 11:00am to 2:00pm at the No. 7 Rooftop Bar, 1208 Commerce Street, Unit 701, in Lynchburg! Come check it out, and support your local live music scene! I've always said that, per capita, Lynchburg has more musical talent than any other city I've ever lived in, but the music scene needs a little more heavy lifting by the supporters. Come on out and show YOUR support for YOUR community's artists. Hope to see you there!

WHERE:
No. 7 Rooftop Bar and Restaurant, 1208 Commerce Street,

WHY: Because we love you!

See you there!

After a long day's work, you deserve to sit on top of the world β€” or at least the top of Downtown Lynchburg β€” and have a tall brew. Perched high above the Bluffwalk and the James River (and just above Fratelli's), No. 7 Rooftop Bar offers spectacular views of the city. You'll enjoy the warmth of...

I love beer. I love blues. I love beer and blues. I also love wine and jazz! πŸ˜‹! If you do too, you should check out a couple of new places in town:
Carmela's At The Loft on Timberlake Rd, and

Rendez-Vous at 12th and Main Sts

Fully stocked bars, exquisite food, and live entertainment of a smoother groove.

I recommend.

The Lynchburg College Music Department will be presenting "All That Jazz!", a concert of big band jazz music which, among many others, will feature yours truly in Duke Ellington's piano seat on his classic composition "Rockin' In Rhythm", and in Count Basie's piano seat on "Shiny Stockings"! I would like to see some of those who say that there's no jazz in Tha Burg come and support the orchestra in general, and me in particular. Free and open to the public!

I am blessed and thankful for many things in my life, both significant and trivial, but among them is this: I am blessed to live in a time when, through the technological marvel of audio and visual recording, I can see and enjoy some of the greatest, including Ray Charles, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Sly Stone, Otis Redding, Michael Jackson and Prince...there are many more, but these influential people, to have been born near the same time and to have had access to their incredible and inspiring talent is a blessing to me, personally...

Herbie Hancock - AVO Session 2006

One of my musical mentors, one of my favorite musicians, and, quite simply one of the best jazz musicians of all time, the incomparable Herbie Hancock! Some of my most rewarding keyboard 'lessons' were taking the albums (yes, vinyl...) 'Headhunters' and 'Thrust' and sitting down and transcribing solos from 'Chameleon' and 'Actual Proof' and then actually learning to play them to get inside his head...and inside Herbie Hancock's head is a wondrous place to be...

Over the course of my time as an entertainer, I have been blessed to share time and space with some extraordinary people. Today, I salute a great friend and colleague, Shelby Johnson, who made her way up through the ranks of this very difficult business to make a name and reputation for herself with people like Groove Theory, Chante Savage, Chante Moore, Mary J Blige, D'Angelo, Anthony Hamilton, Martin Luther, Santana, Larry Graham, and Prince, to name a few. Kudos, Shelby J, you did good!

A good professional musician not only provides live music at a quality level, they provide entertainment between the songs or selections, they emcee the event, they keep the mood light, they make value judgements about the mood of the attendees and guide the event to where the audience wants to go. They prevent others from hijacking the event. They provide break music pertinent to the mood of the event during their breaks. They are the lubricant that keeps the machinery of your well planned event running smoothly. From the moment your entertainer takes the stage until the end of the gig, there should be no moment when you are unaware of their presence, in a positive way, whether they are on stage or on break. No 'dead air'. No awkward silence. No unprofessional behavior. Do you really want to trust that to the lowest bidder or to a wannabe who offers you his or her services in exchange for alcohol, and then drinks their payment during the gig? Or do you want, as you would for any service whose quality you value, want to vouchsafe the good time you want your attendees to experience? Whether a wedding, convention, or a night at the club, you get what you pay for. You decide how important your reputation for serving up quality is for you.

This Friday, I, along with the many other musicians and members of past local AA bands, will be honored with the opening of a two-year exhibit at The Legacy Museum of African American History here in Lynchburg! A small group of we 'survivors' will get a chance to perform together and reminisce about our musical past history at the opening. If I'd had any idea that anything like this would happen, I would have saved more stuff, kept it more organized and in better shape, and retained a full head of hair...

The event begins at 6:00pm on Friday, August 14, at The Legacy, 401 Monroe St in Lynchburg.
