PAST TOURS

I spent many years playing with my close friend Tommy Chong (Cheech & Chong, That 70's Show) touring and performing music and comedy. I owe so much to Tommy who is the funniest guy in the world. Hands down.
Rehearsals for our tour to promote "The Far Out Man" were insane as all the guys in the band were incredible players, including the greatest male singer of Motown, ever, Bobby Taylor (That's what David Ruffin and Mary Wells told me). Bobby and Tommy were in a band called The Vancovers and had the hit song written by Tommy Does your mama know about me?. All the guys were playing with all these super groups but left to play with Chong. It was like being in class with no teacher. We laughed so hard our body hurt after practice.
They were all so crazy but it was a smoking band. I will put up some footage from some of our shows soon. We performed the C&C hits like Earrake my Eye and Basket ball jones and some of my songs.
Tommy taught me how to act and put me in his film the Far Out Man. I continued to play with Tommy when he cut the band down to his sons, him and I.(Chong & The Family Stoned.)

Keyboards Bobby Taylor & The Vancovers Tommy Chong's first band with Motown Records.
And all these guys.
