Lakers vs. Jazz 11-4-22
November 4th, 2022 marked my 15th consecutive year playing saxophone as one of the anthem performers for the Lakers home games. What an honor to be chosen as a favorite for well over a decade. It was very cool. Famed actress and Lakers fan, Dyan Cannon said to me she felt every note and was moved. I'm grateful.
