Marcus Miller and The Axelrods

Marcus Miller with friends Ron and Dorothy Axelrod

Will the real Marcus Miller please stand up?? Ron grabbed Mark's hat for this fun snapshot. Marcus Miller is very gracious and is friends with the Axelrods. He's got some great stories about what it was like starting out as a 17-year-old studio musician in New York City, the recording session where he met pianist Richard Tee, working with Barry White, and producing Miles Davis's Tutu album. --The Daily Fitchett, 1/27/11.

The Daily Fitchett

We're taking our blog in a whole new direction, inspired by the daily realities of cooking, cleaning, making music, making art, and making a living.  Included here are photographs from our travels, recipes from our kitchen, sound clips from Mark's album, interviews, photographs of events, scribbled notes and observations, snapshots of friends new and old.  It's about the journey, not the destination.  We hope you enjoy the journey with us.
