I went back to one of my classic Broadway Drumming 101 conversations this week, and it reminded me why I started this series in the first place. Years ago I sat down with Rich Rosenzweig when he was holding the drum chair for the revival of ‘Company.' Now he's driving the bus for Ragtime at Lincoln Center, and revisiting this talk brought everything back. We got into the real work of subbing on Broadway, the pressure of matching the regular drummer's feel, and the quiet connection with the conductor that determines whether you get asked back.In the clip, Rich breaks down the truth every serious drummer needs to hear. Subbing isn't about chops or showing what you can do. It's about matching the show so well that the conductor can close their eyes and feel the same pulse, the same sound, the same flow they get from the regular drummer. They're not looking for surprises. They want stability. If you're not giving accuracy, presence, and attention to detail, they feel it immediately.Rich also talks about how conductors watch the monitor even when they say they don't. They're looking for someone who is locked in and communicating clearly. Plenty of great drummers have fallen short because they didn't prepare the book with real precision or didn't read the conductor the way the regular drummer does. Most people never hear that part of the job. Subbing is consistency, connection, and trust.Thanks for reading!

What does it take to scale a business from a single restaurant in Kentucky to a nationally recognized brand? Few people understand that blueprint better than Lee Greer, President of Greer Companies - the force behind Cheddar's national expansion, the real estate portfolio that underpins the company, and the global rise of Activate through Sounds Fun Entertainment.In this episode of DevelopLex, Weston and Ross sit down with Lee to unpack the strategy, discipline, and culture that have defined Greer Companies for decades. From raising hundreds of millions on Wall Street to working every station in a Cheddar's kitchen, Lee shares how those experiences shaped the systems-driven, people-first approach that he now applies across restaurants, entertainment concepts, and real estate development.Lee breaks down the story behind the Cheddar's exit - including the last-minute negotiation move that added $72 million to the deal - and how that capital helped fuel significant projects in Lexington like City Center. He also explains why Activate became the perfect next venture: a concept built on physical and mental challenges, designed for repeat play, and structured with low labor and no cost of goods.In this episode, you'll hear:- How Wall Street deal-making trained Lee to think in scale, systems, and returns- Why Cheddar's succeeded through culture, consistency, and operational discipline- The behind-the-scenes story of the Cheddar's exit and how it reshaped Greer Companies- Why Activate's experiential model is built for global growth and why it works- How real estate remains the backbone of Lee's long-term investment strategy- What Lexington needs to unlock its next stage of intentional growthHosted by ⁠⁠⁠Weston Lockhart⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠Ross Boggess⁠⁠⁠DevelopLex is proud to be supported by:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SVN Stone Commercial Real Estate⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Community Trust Bank⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Craftsman Contractors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bowman⁠

Matt Dildine, CEO of the Fresno Rescue Mission, shows what happens when holy discontent collides with bold innovation. Leaving behind a successful law career, he stepped into leadership with a vision to reimagine how communities respond to homelessness. Out of that vision came City Center—a collaborative campus in the heart of Fresno that houses more than 20 service providers under one roof, and creates spaces that uplift and inspire the surrounding community. At the center of this model is DTCR: dignity, time, community, and relationship. Rather than pushing people quickly through programs, Fresno Mission embraces longer engagement to build meaningful connections and lasting change. From replacing mandatory chapel with relational church experiences to offering a free grocery store that becomes a bridge to both care and the gospel, the approach is reshaping how faith-based organizations serve. As Chairman of the Board for Citygate Network, Dildine also provides leadership on a national scale, helping guide innovation and collaboration among ministries serving vulnerable populations across the country.To learn more about TRM, Click Here!To support TRM, Click Here! Send us a Message!

Canton, Woodstock, and Holly Springs have joined other cities in an amicus brief supporting Milton, arguing the ruling contradicts sovereign immunity precedents. The planter, in place since 1992, was deemed 93% responsible for the crash. The Supreme Court will address whether the planter’s placement constitutes a municipal defect and if immunity applies. Cities fear the ruling could impact right-of-way management statewide.

In this episode I continue my review of Broadway's Nostalgia Craze of the 1970s and beyond. Many of the musicals that emerged in the late 60s and very early 70s were also influenced by the incipient Nostalgia Craze, even if overall their shows were decidedly modern. HAIR, Jesus Christ Superstar, Godspell, Two Gentlemen of Verona, Applause  all included musical sequences that recalled the Vaudeville era and Silver Age of Broadway. So nostalgia was in the air, and then No, No, Nanette sent it into the stratosphere! And all of this was before the nostalgia craze expanded to include the 1950s. Almost exactly one year after the premiere of Nanette the musical Grease opened on Broadway. It became wildly popular and ran for eight years on Broadway passing Fiddler to become the longest running musical of all time until A Chorus Line passed it. And Grease's enormous success set into motion a 1950s wing of the nostalgia craze by inspiring both the movie American Grafiiti (1973) and the TV show Happy Days (1974). The success of Nanette led directly to a 1973 revival Irene, the smash hit musical that opened in 1919 and became the longest running musical of its day. And Grease led directly to Over Here !, the 1974 musical in which the director, choreographer and producers of Grease attempted to do for the 1940s, what their previous show had done for the 1950s. The two still living Andrews Sisters, Patty and Maxine, where enticed to star in Over Here!, and the Sherman Brothers, of Disney fame, provided a terrific set of brand new very authentic sounding Big Band era style songs for them to swing. Broadway's Nostalgia Craze continued with a hit 1975 revival of the Jerome Kern Princess Theater musical Very Good Eddie, then in 1979 both the 1928 Edie Cantor vehicle Whoopee! and the 1930's style classic Burlesque show, Sugar Babies.  It was inevitable that the movie 42nd Street itself would be transformed into a Broadway stage musical in 1980. That same season there was the Marx Brothers inspired revusical A Day In Hollywood A Night In The Ukraine. 1983 brought a hit revival of Rodgers & Hart's On Your Toes, and over the next decade there would be two Gershwin “revisals”, both of them so heavily reworked that they were given new titles: My One And Only in 1983, and Crazy For You in 1993. In between, came the Broadway debut of a 1937 London hit Me And My Girl in 1986. I would even include the 1980 blockbuster Annie in this category. Although it was, of course, an entirely new musical it certainly played on nostalgia for the comic strip and radio show Little Orphan Annie from the Depression Era, and smartly used that to echo the recession of the 1970's. Some people would say that the Nostalgia Craze never ended, at least as far as Broadway is concerned.  Although, revivals of popular musicals have been part of the Broadway mix throughout most of its 120+ year history, the success of No, No, Nanette and its successors created a pattern and expectation that in every season – there should be at least enough revivals to fill out a Tony Award “Best Revival” category. And you could say that the immense popularity of City Center's Encore Series is an extension of the Nostalgia Craze, as well. I for one hope that we will never tire of rediscovering and reinventing the great musicals of the past.
