I especially love that this induction recognizes three musical chapters that mean the world to me: making music with my lifelong buddies and musical family From Good Homes; collaborating and playing bass with The Laurie Berkner Band; and the many exciting, meaningful years of making music for kids and families I've shared with the Little Band That Could.
