  • My guest on Episode 14 of Travel Taste and Talk is drummer Tavarius "Varo" Johnson. Varo has played drums for Smokie Norful, James Fortune, Donald Lawrence, and Lalah Hathaway.
    (TTT Season 1 audio Highlights are now available on iTunes and at cdbaby.com)
    In this episode Varo talks about becoming a chameleon, making a home on the road, and an encounter with a homeless tour guest.

    Sharay my name is Patrick Massey I’m from Nashville Tn I’m a drummer. I’m a big fan of yours since I was in middle school. And varo. If it’s possible could I meet you 2 one day? Not asking for an opportunity to play the drums. I just want to talk to you guys and hangout with you guys. I love you guys. I looked up to yall when I was a kid. One of my dreams is to meet you guys. I hope one day you see this and make it happen. Love 💙

    You did the right thing by walking away from Smokey Norful. He has no right to tell you what you can play. He's judging which is a violation of the law he preaches. Nothing wrong with play both Gospel and R&B.
