man i love the story... i stay having dreams that i could make it one day... im def gonna stay inspired and stay hungry, most of all ima try and be a cool dude to people because nobody likes to a bad attitude. Hey Thanks REX!
I was into MJ back in 411 cassette days.I knew she had it.Love her.You got wisdom Bro’ and you are humble.Love you for that.Love your grooves Bro, right on it.
Thanks for sharing Rex, love the story of how you got started with Mary & your telling others who think it won't happen for them to just hang on their chance is coming :)
Hey bro, I thank God for how He has elevated you in this season of your life.. We met around 2000-2001 in Chicago when I was on the road as the keyboardist for Jimmy Sommers(Saxophonist) at the Green Dolphin Club, you sat in with us on 2 songs I believe.... You sounded amazing then and you even more polished now. May God Continue To Take You To New Heights!
This is so cool, behind-the-scenes stuff! Loving Rex's drum kit, and the way they tossed the gospel flavor in there. I thought it was immature that the Asian man was called Bruce Lee just because he was Chinese.....otherwise I liked this.
yes sir you said it at the end man, i been going through that it in atl getting let down but im not giving up yet, i've come too far as a musician to give up...thanks for the words of encouragement...
Great encouraging words rex. I ben a fan man wayyyyy , b4 the Mary gig. My homie Phil from chi town use to take me to see you and few other kats from n the Chi area. Keep grooving homie. Your a great inspiration
Love the encouragement and thats true sometimes i feel like nothing ever Gonna happen if it does then it do and if i don't then it wasn't Gods plan for my Life MY LIFE MY LIFE MY LIFE Lol
@Fenderbaby94 Im in the same position. I don't know what country you live in, but im heading off to college in October to study drums, and i'll learn all about the various steps needed to get to whatever stage i want to be at, as well as learning my trade and honing my skills. The really get behind you too, and if you're good any work they find that would you suit you, the get you involved. Look around for courses/contacts like that, but don't give up. Chase your dream!
Man Thanks Rex! The vids of your musical fam are mad funny! But out of every vid I've watched so far the words of encouragement meant a lot too an up and come drummer as myself. Those words hit deep, much needed this mornin. Thanks Ray Vick Twitter: @rawv85
