Adrian Belew to play "ELEPHANT TALK" with Paul Green School of Rock Music Hall of Famers Eric Slick, Louis Graff, and Max DiMezza

Adrian Belew

Okay, a moment here for me to take some deep breaths so I don't hyperventilate.

On Saturday night, at the Roseland Ballroom in New York for the Les Paul Tribute, my son, Eric, will be on drums along with Rock School Hall of Famers Max DiMezza on bass and Louis Graff on guitar, where they will be joined by ADRIAN BELEW for King Crimson's "Elephant Talk".

(Hall of Famers are Paul Green School of Rock School Music All-Stars who have graduated the program and are really the shining examples of Paul's most amazing teaching and mentoring skills -- and all of these musicians are now in bands of their own and actively gigging).

And okay, one more time, here's a recap off the Music Player Live website of what else is going to occur that evening, and to say I'm excited is a major understatement.
