Brian Melick: uduboy music

Wonderful concert with Cathie Ryan in one of the most incredible cities in the US Savannah, GA

Taking in a moment

with two remarkable men: Frank Giorgini: Udu Drum and Abbas Ahuwan, the man who first shared the Udu and traditional Nigerian Pottery methods with the US through a cultural exchange program in the early 70's. My life has never been the same since meeting these men and performing on these incredible instruments.

My heart right here. I am honored to be the caretaker of an absolutely beautiful vintage 1967 Leedy Black Diamond Pearl Drum Set that I inherited from my Great Uncle Earl who was second to my sister in instigating my folks to purchase my first drum set when I was 10. My sister bought me my first drum when I was 6 or 7 with her allowance money!!!

with Maria Zemantaiuski while I was facilitating a casual opportunity for students at the Hudson Valley Community College to simply stop by for about an hour or so to just play drums and smile a lot while doing it - in support of their Cultural Affairs & Health and Wellness offices

100 years ago listening to a play back of a very early home recording with two very talented friends: Steve Goldstein, Keyboards and Vince Korzon: Guitar / Vocal: We would literally stay up all night recording music. Man what a blessed time we had together. Think I was like 17 0r 18 here.

As the say. We need more ...

A very treasured photo for me. And a wonderful musical memory.

I still pinch myself when I think back on this time in my life and carrer. Absolutely inspiring artists to be lucky to be around. Thank you Scott Petito and Artie Traum for having me be a part of this incredible music
