Skip sometimes plays with a lady named Phoebe Snow. A newspaper here in New York City, called The New York Times published a nice review of one of her live shows. It says, in part, "Ms. Snow . . . was accompanied by an excellent quartet (Roger Butterly on guitar and mandolin, John Korba on keyboards, Skip Ward on bass and Shannon Ford on drums)".
Someone we know asked Skip if he was going to record with Ms. Snow and, in an apparent cryptic reference to his respiration, Skip said he wasn't holding his breath. We are glad to hear this because everyone needs oxygen to live.
We've called Skip at his loft in Soho to congratulate him and his personal assistant has assured us we will hear from him soon.

Frenchy is an artist living in LA (and we don't mean Los Angeles) who painted the picture of Professor Longhair which you see as our image on this site. It hangs in a place we play often in NYC called The Delta Grill
