In 1979 the theme song of our partying "Senior Skip Day" was "Flashlight". The song was forever etched in my brain, played over and over that day.33 years later I found my self In a studio with Bernie as he was helping produce a good friends album. I was just helping push buttons and at a break he turned to me and asked what I thought of a certain part of the track we were working on. I have no idea what my response was... a bonafide legend was asking my opinion. The man who was responsible for my induction to funk. I wanted to pinch myself to be sure I was not dreaming. All I remember is bernie agreeing with what I said and making me feel important and a part of the process, not just a knob turner. A kinder, gentler spirit I have never met. I know he is meant for even greater things beyond this...thank your Bernie for sharing your talent and spirit with us. I hope you knew how special you are and how much you will be missed. Enjoy what is next!
Please wait...
