David Uosikkinen's In the Pocket

Alan has been into music since he was eleven years old. Then that first appearance of the Beatles on Ed Sullivan changed his life forever. So many of his peers have the same exact story.  Alan learned by ear from listening to records and he earned so much from Ringo Starr (Sir Richard Starkey).He started gigging in the late ’60s, working in the club date field in the New York Tri-State area from 1975 to 1983. He played with many bands in the NYC club scene in the late ’70s and early ’80s. Most people don’t know this, but in the mid-’90s Alan dropped out of the public eye to play drums for Broadway show tours. Until 2017, He's enjoyed playing these rock/pop-type productions like Rent, Aida, Hairspray, The Who’s Tommy, and Rock of Ages. 

We couldn't get enough of Rob Stoner and his stories so we brought him back for a follow-up.

Rob Stoner has an amazing  life making music.  I met Rob around 2010 when we both recorded tracks on a Robert Gordon record produced by Quention Jones.  I found him to be a a genuinely good dude and super bassist. I found out that session that he played bass on Don McLean's hit American Pie but he also sings back up with the track. He was the band leader of Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue. Which was a  stellar band the included Rob, Nick Ronson. Howie Wyeth,Scarlet Rivera.
