Derek Fisher

Listen to "Derek Fisher Dancing With The Stars" on Spreaker. Derek Fisher spent his entire pre-NBA life in Little Rock, Arkansas. His work ethic and determination were evident even from a young age, but basketball was always what drove him. A stand-out guard in high school, he starred for Parkview Arts and Science Magnet High. Even as a teenager, his leadership qualities were on display for all those who encountered him. In 1996 he was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers and went on to play more than 18 seasons in the NBA, a majority with the Lakers, with whom he won 5 NBA Championships. Fisher is the all-time NBA record holder in playoff games played. While playing for the Lakers, he hit a buzzer beater with 0.4 second left in game 5 of the 2004 Western Conference Semifinals against the San Antonio Spurs, which the NBA lists as the 18th-greatest playoff moment of all time. Fisher also served as president of the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA), while playing. In 2014 he was hired by the New York Knicks to be the team's head coach and became one of the only players to get a head coaching job in the NBA directly from playing. In 2016 he moved back to Los Angeles and began to work professionally as a broadcaster, making appearances on TNT, NBA TV and Spectrum SportsNet. Fisher made multiple appearances on TNT's Inside the NBA and was on TNT's new Player's Only coverage, where former NBA players provided color commentary on games. He worked alongside with Shaquille O'Neal, Grant Hill and Brent Barry, among others. At the start of the 2016-17 NBA season, Fisher joined Spectrum SportsNet as an in-studio analyst for the Los Angeles Lakers. Fisher's passion for impacting the lives of young people motivated him to create a camp experience for children and teens of all skill levels. In 2009 he started the Derek Fisher Basketball Academy, which is dedicated and focused on developing the basketball, leadership and life skills of each camper. He currently resides in Los Angeles with his family. Derek Fisher is partnered with Pro Sharna Burgess.

Rich Robinson From Black Crowes

Listen to "Rich Robinson The Magpie Salute" on Spreaker. THE MAGPIE SALUTE—which brings together the reunited guitar team of Rich Robinson and Marc Ford from the Black Crowes and bassist Sven Pipien (also from the Crowes) with other dynamic musicians and co-ed singers from around the world–are earning praise on their debut American tour that launched July 26 in Indianapolis. Of the 10-piece band‘s August 11 performance at the Peach Music Festival in Scranton, PA, where the set listincluded material from theirself-titled debut album (released June 9 via Eagle Rock Entertainment and available via Amazon here), Rolling Stone noted:   “The Magpie Salute, featuring Black Crowes alumni Marc Ford and Sven Pipien, members of the Rich Robinson Band, vocalist John Hogg, and a soulful group of background singers, took the stage to show they could be just as powerful as the Crowes ever were. Hogg’s voice stunned on a soaring version of the Crowes’ ‘My Morning Song‘…and the band debuted the original tune ‘Omission,‘an electrifying hybrid of hard rock and Southern blues with a melodic bridge.“–Matt Mattei, 8/14/17   On their 60-show summer-into-fall outing including two-night engagement in Chicago (Metro), San Francisco (The Fillmore) and New York City (Irving Plaza), THE MAGPIE SALUTE are drawing from over 170 songs including material by The Black Crowes, solo albums from Rich Robinson and Marc Ford, and classic cover songs that have inspired the band.   As a result, their shows are unpredictable and completely fresh, with Gary Graff of the Oakland Press in Michigan hailing their performance as “…an organic and dynamic exposition of music in the moment“ (7/31/17). Writing in North Carolina’s Smoky Mountain News about the Asheville show, Garret K. Woodward said: “The Magpie Salute is a juggernaut of pure rock-n-roll swagger, the shock and awe of a triple-guitar assault on the audience, fueled by thunderous kick-drums and songbird backup soul singers” (8/23/17). Elsewhere, the rock blog Live For Live Music raved about the Atlanta show: “The energy stayed strong through their 20-song set, with incendiary musicianship blasting through the instruments of the artists on stage“(8/19/17).   THE MAGPIE SALUTE–whom will record a double album in 2018–features musicians who‘ve played together for decades throughout various projects and share a truly deep musical bond. Joining Robinson, Ford and Pipien in the band are drummer Joe Magistro and guitarist Nico Bereciartua. The group also boasts a fine cast of vocalists, including Robinson, Ford, lead singer John Hogg (Hookah Brown, Moke), former Crowes singer Charity White and background singers Adrien Reju and Katrine Ottosen. Notably, THE MAGPIE SALUTE is a truly international band. London‘s John Hogg is of Swedish/African heritage, Sven Pipien is German, Nico Bereciartua is an Argentinean citizen and Kat Ottosen is a Danish citizen who partly lives in Copenhagen.

Friendships

Listen to "Friendships" on Spreaker. I'm "not" a loner. And yet I love walking into a recording studio alone and getting lost in a project that brings success to not just one person but many. But here's the problem. In this age of so many platforms and reasons for having collaborations how true is the foundation of friendship? I keep hearing stories about how this friend did this and that friend did that. There's Facebook Friends and Instagram Friends. Church friends and workplace friends. But does it truly fit into what's supposed to be a sacred connection of growing forward and outward? Here's how the dictionary defines friendship: a state of mutual trust and support between allied nations. Now lets look up relationship: the way in which two or more concepts, objects, or people are connected, or the state of being connected. It says nothing about trust and support. Most businesses influence, inspire and motivate their teams of worker bees to bring their talents together. That's called a relationship. Not a friendship. And most are left along side the road until further teamwork is expected if ever. That doesn't qualify as a friendship. You can be friendly to each other. You can build journeys and success stories. Instantly I'm reminded of the way people poke at their spouses and say, "That's your workplace wife or husband." We spend so much time at work that it kinda points to that. But it doesn't shape shift into a friendship. It can. But we're talking reality. I always try to rely on the children's song make new friends but keep the old. One is silver and the other is gold. It can be used as a tool but... It totally invites us to dump and run. Not to challenge you. Look deeper into the cause and effect. In what areas of your life do you have friends? And are they true or a chest pain away from leaving the scene?
