This whole covid situation has made connecting to family so different. It has been such a pleasure collaborating with my son Teddy on content for this Youtube channel which you should all make sure to check out and subscribe to.

I'm celebrating my birthday today by helping support a school very near and dear to me, the Stax Music Academy, at the original site of Stax Records in Memphis. I've teamed up with the Soundwaves Art Foundation and signed these original artworks and limited-edition prints based on "Green Onions" and proceeds from the sale benefit the academy, which is the only music school in the world that focuses on the legacy of Booker T. & the MGs, Otis Redding, the Staple Singers, and so many others. This is a way for you to own a piece of Memphis music and they make great holiday gifts. Link to order in Bio.
