Two award winning musicians meet up with me at Lemon Tree Café & Market in Las Vegas to tell stories and share some laughs.

They start with playing at Tony Bennett’s 90th birthday party at Caesars Palace who recently passed away which leads into Natalie Cole. Lon tells the story of being a paid Nixon campaign flier distributor! What is funk music?
David tell stories about the days of playing at Cleopatra’s Barge at Caesars and how that developed him. Was the Paddlewheel Inn where Lon developed and how he got started at the Riveria.

David tells us how the gig with the LV Raiders is going as well as his LP Sidewalk. Lon discusses recording with Tower of Power, how that was the impetus for putting his band together and then David adds to it. The story how Lon & David met in Las Vegas which goes from the Naughty Ladies Saloon to being in drag.

They give their perspectives on teaching and giving back. Paul Shaffer stories leads into Steve Schirripa getting casted for The Sopranos. Playing at Myon’s Cabaret @ The Smith Center & of course… TOMATO PLANTS!
