Carlinhos Brown and I - The first time I saw him and his band was at the Hollywood Bowl in 1998. I was blown away!! The energy coming from that stage was tremendous! I was fortunate to see him perform again at the AVO Sessions in Switzerland. Having played the night before, I was able to not only go to the show but had the chance to go backstage afterwards and meet Carlinhos and his band. He welcomed me as if we were long lost friends! My respect and appreciation for his artistry was heightened.
