Well gang I’m back and recovering from jet lag which I’m sure will be happening for the next couple of days.
I would like to thank my family and all of you who sent out the love, and support , as well as big time encouragement for this tour with Tower Of Power. I can’t remember the last time I had as many hits on my website guess I should blog more … LOL. I’m very humbled and feel so much love from all of you.
Lack of wifi on the bus prevented me from getting to you sooner. Thanks to Emilio, Doc, Jack and the entire staff of the TowerOf Powerorganization and to Larry Braggs for recommending that I sub for him. Thanks for the band member for making me feel welcome its amazing how funky this band is after 44 years, these cats are still at the top of there game. David G. wasn’t there, he had to hang back to be inducted into the Percussive Hall of Fame which he so well deserves, but Joey Heredia did a wonderful job. MalmoSwedenwas off the chain, the TOP fans are amazing, a great mix of younger fans hanging out with the fans my age, that’s crazy cool. They welcomed me as if I’d been the band a long time and that was very much appreciated . Actually Stockholm, and Berlin we’re pretty much the same. Tower fans love their East Bay Soul.
After performing with Aretha Franklin, Greg Errico , Rose Stone ,Cynthia and Jerry , (Sly and the Family Stone) , Pee Wee Ellis Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker and now Tower of Power my career has come full circle. I have always wanted sing with all of these artist so I’m here to tell you “dreamers keep dreaming”, persevere and hang in there because dreams do come true .
God bless you peace and Mad Love,
Fred Ross.
