S2 Ep1608: ARTS ALIVE! Bill DeYoung - Celebrating John Lamb's Birthday w/Bryan J. Hughes

This episode of Arts Alive! podcast is all about jazz, and a Saturday event at The Palladium that’s already sold out.  It sold out because the guest of honor, bassist John Lamb, just celebrated his 92nd birthday. The Florida native, and longtime St. Petersburg resident, came to the studio for a conversation about his extraordinary life so far. Lamb was accompanied by vocalist Bryan J. Hughes (who’s considerably younger). Hughes and a crackerjack band of bay area musicians will celebrate Lamb’s latest milestone at Saturday’s Side Door Cabaret show. The man himself will sit in for a couple of tunes. Mr. Lamb began his musical career playing tuba with a U.S. Air Force Band, and after a few years of music college education, and apprenticeship, was hired as a fulltime member of Duke Ellington’s Orchestra. All in all, he spent seven years playing for Sir Duke. And that, among many other things, is something to talk about.#artsalive #billdeyoung #stpetecatalyst #johnlamb #bryanjhughes #palladium #jazz #stpete #stpetefl  #tampabay #radio #radiostpete #cityofstpete  #dtsp #downtownstpete
