He's performed with music icons like Sting, Carlos Santana, and the Temptations. Plus, he's a magna cum laude graduate of the premier Berklee College of Music. In this interview, he chats with Dr. mOe about his impressive career, life on the road, and his new book "Am I Famous Yet? - Memoir of a Working-Class Rock Star." Hear Ivan perform and learn more about his journey at   Transcript is auto-generated: [00:00] Dr. mOe Anderson: Welcome, Ivan. [00:02] Ivan Bodley: Thanks so much. Great to see you. [00:04] Dr. mOe Anderson: And you as well. I've been looking forward to talking to the legendary Funk Boy. We're going to have some fun today. You're quite the god. My goodness, talk about being versatile. You have a BA in psychology from V Two Lane University in New Orleans. I'm headed there soon. You were also a publicist with Epic record Sony Music. How did you go from that to working class musician? How did this journey begin? [00:35] Ivan Bodley: You know, that was an interesting kind of career transition. Yes, you're right. I have an undergraduate degree, and then I went into the music business, and I was a junior executive, and I had a corporate Amex card, and I seemed to be on that path as a career path for life. And after about three years of being in the music business, I realized that the music business is pretty much a marketing company. It had very little to do with creativity and creation of music. Certainly we were getting to hang out with the rock stars we were promoting, but we weren't involved in any of the creative aspects of making this product. So I kind of had a moment of realization, and it was kind of a difficult one because I realized there really wasn't anything else I wanted to do but to try to be an actual performer. And when you come to realization like that, you kind of realize, like, wow, that's a tough road to ho, as they say. There's no guarantees of success, and I have nothing else I really wanted to fall back on. There's nothing else I wanted to do regardless of education or qualifications or anything else. So I was like, I kind of resigned myself. Well, I guess I got to try to make it go of this if I'm going to do that. And then once I came to that realization, I was like, all right, well, if I'm going to do this, I need to go ahead and get myself more specifically formally educated in music, because most of my study at that point had been self study or with private teachers or that kind of thing. So then I went back as a slightly older person. I was in my mid twenties after 26, I think. Then I went to the Berkeley College of Music. Well, and then I'll slip in that I managed to graduate from there, magna cum laude, too. So I really tried to dedicate myself to my studies to give myself the tools that I needed to hopefully then have any success in the business. In a business where no success is ever guaranteed, you then have to have a good deal of hard work and good fortune on your side to try to rent. That's what happened. I kind of took a bizarre leap of faith after I was resigned to my fate, and somehow, looking back now, 30 years later, it worked out. [03:13] Dr. mOe Anderson: Absolutely. I talked about your impressive CV in the intro. I would say it has more than worked out. And what I'm particularly impressed by is that I'm a creative as well. So I know how it is when you have those two sides, the corporate and then the fashion and artsy side of you, but that you fully committed to what you wanted to do, whether it was the corporate side or the music that you went all in. And a lot of people get stuck because they want to love everything, but we got to do some stuff we don't like so much to get to the point where we can do what we really want to do. That's just part of the process. So from there you've studied, you've got a great background in business and music based on that investment in yourself. How did you go from that to becoming a freelance professional musician because you've worked with some of the biggest people in the music business. [04:13] Ivan Bodley: Well, after I got my degree from Berkeley, I came back to New York City because that's kind of where I thought I knew that I always sort of wanted to be musically. A lot of the music that I was sort of interested in was coming was emanating from here. So I had a grand career set of goals, and what I was going to do was I was going to become a famous musician. I was going to play at Madison Square Garden. I was going to play on The Tonight Show and the David Letterman Show and Saturday Night Live. These are my career goals, the trifecta, right? And I can tell you with great confidence, 30 years later, exactly none of those things actually happened. But a bunch of other things happened along the way that sort of made it worthwhile. When I got here, I started typing resumes. I was a temp secretary. I had the temp gig for like three years during the day, world's longest temp gig. It was three years long, and I was typing resumes for the people that the phone company was laying off. It was this bizarre, weird, good karma job I was trying to help, working this career resource center of the phone company, believe it or not. And then little by little, step by step, inch by inch, just over time, over that three year period, the evening freelance music career became just enough to tip the balance, to go ahead and pay the rent and take an additional leap of faith and leave the temp gig. And that was the last time I had a day job, was 1995. [05:52] Dr. mOe Anderson: Oh, you lucky, lucky man. [05:54] Ivan Bodley: I know. True. That is true. That is true. [05:57] Dr. mOe Anderson: But you worked hard at it. You even took a job that you were overqualified for until you could fully pursue your commitment and your passion, your talent for music. And, you know, you call yourself almost famous, but you performed at Carnegie Hall the Kennedy Center. You're in the Blues freaking hall of Fame, right? You've been music director for Sam and Moore, Sam and Dave for my old schoolers, Martha and the Vandelas. But you've also performed with Sting the Temptations. Benny King,  Chaka Khan Wynonna Judd and David Foster! I don't normally tik off a list like that, but most people don't have a list like that. [06:45] Ivan Bodley: It's funny. I have a joke sort of my resume, which is included in the end of my book, and I will send it out to some people. It's on my website. It's seven pages long. It's unconscionably long. There's no possible reason people shouldn't have that much information. But what happens is I find over and over again and you just demonstrated this exactly. I'd never know which name on the resume is going to resonate with somebody. Like, you have a personal relationship to, say, Sam and Dave, for instance, and people go, wow, you play with Sam and Dave. But it's always one that I don't expect. Like, I'll have seven pages of information and some people will say, like, wow, you play with Buster Point extra. I'm like, yeah, I did. That's the one that turned you on. Great. Perfect. Now we can talk about that. [07:30] Dr. mOe Anderson: Yeah, it is funny. And it just tells us that we have some lives well lived when we can make references to people throughout multiple generations. And that's exactly what you've done. Because, like, my mom would be way Sam and Dave, right? And she listened to music all the time. And I'm not that much older than you. I'm not trying to throw shade, but no, that's my Sam and Dave and Martha Reid's reference. But then when you get to Chakra Khan and Rufus and why not especially David Foster. Oh, my God, he's a genius. That's when you're getting into my influences and just all around. It's just exciting reading, and I can't imagine what it was like. Do you have any funny story you can share with us about your life on the road or with one of these celebrities? I know there's a bunch of them in the book, but is there one you can share with us now? [08:26] Ivan Bodley: There's a whole bunch of them. Actually, you're right. That's the reason I did write the book, because there's so many of them. I do want to correct you on one small point. I didn't ever actually play with the band Rufus. I played with Rufus Thomas, the world's oldest teenagers of the man who did the funky chicken down in Memphis, Tennessee. I don't want to misappropriate my strange celebrity resume. [08:49] Dr. mOe Anderson: Hey, my bad. That's so mean. Folks, I corrected and I'm okay with that. [08:54] Ivan Bodley: All good. We opened for Chaka. I was playing with Solomon Burke at the where was this? The Saratoga Jazz Festival in New York. Excuse me. And the act immediately after us was Chaka Kahn So I feel like I've been on the same stage with her, but I've not actually played in her band yet. I'm available, Chaka, if you're around. If you need me, I'd be happy to come out. I love sliding medieval, that's all. It's all a shameless self promotion that never kind of ends. And a funny story, that show with Solomon Burke, I think we had a twelve piece band. Solomon Burke at that time in his career was, I believe, £425. He was a formidable gentleman of certain stature. So on his technical rider, he had a king's throne to be placed at the front of the stage and he sat down on the throne and conducted his business from the front of the stage using just the power of his voice. And he ran for 15,000 people and he moved, like emotionally moved the entire audience with just the sound of his voice. It was the most extraordinary thing I've ever seen. He also had on his technical writer two dozen long stem roses with the thorns removed that he had to have by the throne. So he gave them out one at a time to ladies in the front row in the audience as he was performing. He was a master showman and very sort of like old school, old world RMB. And then at the end of the show, like for the big climax of the night, his big stage move was he stood up on a high note, he stood up from the throne and the audience was like, wow. It was just unbelievable. Like you see performers dancing and sweating for 2 hours. He had one move and it was as effective as any Britney Spears concert you've ever seen. Amazing former. [11:04] Dr. mOe Anderson: And that's what I always say about singers versus entertainers. I'm a big deal fan, for example, I don't think she has a move other than turning to one profile side or the other. But she doesn't need one. [11:18] Ivan Bodley: She doesn't need it. [11:19] Dr. mOe Anderson: It's so amazing. Now, if you can sing and dance to Kudos to you, but if you got a pig, I'll take a singer over an entertainer any day and I just can't even imagine someone just sitting on their throne like a sovereign management rising 15,000 people. That is a gift. That's a form of genius. And whether people recognize it or not, that is not an easy thing. Thanks for sharing that story. [11:47] Ivan Bodley: Furthermore, as the band, as the backing band, I think we rehearsed with him one time, the first time we met him, and then never again. Because what he did was the other thing too. Like all of his songs, the only thing you knew about what he was about to say was that it was in the key of G. He stayed in the same key for the entire evening and it was never, ever dull. So he had a group of songs that were hits for him back in the Atlantic record spaces. So I kind of had, like, a little cheat sheet sort of in front of me, like a three or four page thing that kind of happened. So what he would do, he would just start singing a melody, a capella. And as the backing band, we had to figure out what song he was on. And then we had to catch up because he was already two bars into the song. So he got to get you into my life. And we're like, okay, all right. Figure out what song was. Figure out what the changes were and catch up. And he did this over and over again. And it was just such an amazing exercise for us to try to listen and try to respond to him live like that. [12:50] Dr. mOe Anderson: And then he would do that with you guys. Said he had a lot of confidence in you, too, and your musical abilities, because that is really some Southern Black Baptist Church stuff right there. [13:04] Ivan Bodley: Exactly what it is. Never had a set list, never premeditate. What's going to happen now that you said that? Now I can tell you the next story. We're playing with him at Lincoln Center. At Avery Fisher Hall. This is the jazz festival thing. We're in this very prestigious concert event opening for Wilson Ticket. Wilson, the mighty, wicked Picket. So Dr. Burke is like to be referred as he was a doctor of mortuary sciences. Dr. Burke started Sigma. I'm 100,000% serious. He was a many faceted, individual, fascinating human being. [13:50] Dr. mOe Anderson: That's crazy. [13:51] Ivan Bodley: He started singing in the same manner I just described to you. He would just start singing a melody. So he started singing the Ray Charles classic drowned in My Own Tears. And between, I looked at the keyboard player and the keyboard player look at the guitar player, and the guitar player looked at me. And we realized between the three of us, none of us knew the changes exactly to the song. We're like, oh, we're live on stage being reviewed by The New York Times at Lincoln Center, and we don't know the song that he's now singing. And he realizes within 20 seconds or 10 seconds, like, we're not with it. So he sings a couple of lines of it, then he moves on to something else, and we're back in the fold, and the concert continues on. We got away with it, really. Probably. We were only the ones that noticed it. But then as we're leaving the stage at the end of the night, triumphant standing ovation, he got the whole thing. The greatest jockey and record producer, Bob Porter with the MC for the evening. So if we're coming up to the wings, bob Porter looks at me and he says, Drowning My Own Tears. So I was like, oh, man, you heard that? [15:04] Dr. mOe Anderson: There's a lot of nonverbal kind of back and forth. I'm not a musician. I'm a creative. I write and speak. But just that, you guys. I mean, I kind of see it when I see the biopics and the movies, but you guys just kind of feed off of each other, get to know each other to that degree that he knew to just move on. Okay, they're not getting it. He moved on. And it's just like a seamless communication. [15:34] Ivan Bodley: We don't call it eyeballing. We call it earballing. [15:37] Dr. mOe Anderson: Earballing. I was searching for a word. Thank you. I was like, there's got to be a term for that. And that makes sense. And it is a relationship just like every other relationship, even if it's just for an hour or two. And that's what's another thing that's so beautiful about music and what you do and that you've been able to perform with all these different types of musicians. You've also worked for a major record label and you've been a musician. What is it like to work for a major record label? You alluded to it, but a little bit more of what that life is like. [16:21] Ivan Bodley: Well, that's what I did coming out of my college years. While I was at Two Lane, I was also the music director of the campus radio station. There's a station there called Wtwo two Lane radio. And it was a 1500 watt station which covered all greater metro New Orleans. So had a potential listenership of like a million people. Not that we had those kind of numbers, but it had a very wide coverage and as such, it was a very influential station. So the record companies knew this and they would promote directly to us and have us interview their artists when they would come through town and send us. So my job was to sort of be in contact with the record companies and make sure that the station had all the latest product and all this kind of thing. So that was kind of my entree into the music business, was doing it from the radio station side. And because I really didn't pick up a bass guitar until I was a senior in high school, I was 17 years old. So when it was time to make the decision to go to college, I was in no position to say, I'm going to be a music major. I didn't have that much experience. I actually started Tulane as a biomedical engineering major first, and after about two years of that majoring actually in college, radio, I ended up with a psych degree. So because of the context that I'd made through the music directorship, then that's how I was able to parlay that into an assistant job in the publicity department at Epic Records. And then at which you start out making Xerox copies and making coffee and running errands, whatever you need to do. [17:51] Dr. mOe Anderson: Back in the days when we worked. [17:53] Ivan Bodley: Our way up from the bottom, that's exactly what happened. [17:56] Dr. mOe Anderson: You know, they come in privileged and expecting to have a corner office. Initially, no shade. [18:03] Ivan Bodley: That's exactly what it is. And then after about a year and a half of being successful doing that, an office opened up and it was the manager of West Coast publicity I was in New York initially, the manager of West Coast publicity for Epic Portrait and CBS Associated Labels. So I had to move out to Los Angeles midway through my record company career. And that's when I got the business card, the corporate Amex card. And it wasn't the corner office, but it was an office with a window and all that kind of nonsense. And I was working for, I guess, my sort of pride and joy projects from that time where the band Living Color, we were working on their first project called Personality on the Vivid album. I was working with Stanley Clark, the great jazz bass player who's been a dear friend of mine ever since George Duke. [18:53] Dr. mOe Anderson: Stanley Clark. [18:54] Ivan Bodley: George, exactly. Big Daddy. We called George Duke Big Daddy. And I was working with near. Not directly with, but certainly near. I have a platinum plaque on my wall now. That was all the gold and platinum records. I'm looking at it right now from the year 1988. So in no particular order. Gloria Estefan, Cheap Trick, Luther Vandross, Michael Jackson, Ozzy Osbourne the Band europe Shade Joan Jet And The blackhearted Weird Al Yankovic Alexander O'Neill and REO Speed Wagon So those were the clients that I was dealing with at the label at that time. [19:33] Dr. mOe Anderson: I saw some of those during our pre call. You have a very interesting office or whatever the room you were in as we were talking, I was just looking at the guitars and all the boards and the gold platinum records. Just amazing just being in that environment. And sometimes people like, I have some degrees and family pictures and art in the room on my office. And sometimes people are like, oh, that's your ego wall. But you know what? For me, it's a hustle wall. It's like what you can do when you try really hard. And frankly, I'm the one in here ten to 12 hours a day. It's not like I'm out on the street like, look at this, look at this. It just reminds me that hard work and effort gets results. And to keep at it, keep at it, don't get discouraged. [20:25] Ivan Bodley: I remember when I saw the picture of your office as well. I call them my own. I call them the bowling trophies. These are the bowling trophies. And having a platinum record up that I was presented with 35 years ago, does that mean something now? Like, yes and no. It's part of my origin story. And it's one of those things when you see it, it looks impressive. And occasionally I'm reminded to look at it and go like, oh, yeah, I did that. [20:48] Dr. mOe Anderson: I did that. And at the end of the day, it's by you for you to do what you want to with. That's why I love it. I was very inspired just seeing it, honestly, and I'm glad I had that opportunity. [21:01] Ivan Bodley: Yes, good. Thank you. [21:02] Dr. mOe Anderson: So you talked about all the sides of it, that you've been on the corporate side file, you've done whatever was necessary, ultimately. We Heard You trifecta The Tonight Show, medicine Square Garden And So forth. [21:19] Ivan Bodley: None of that happened, by the way. [21:20] Dr. mOe Anderson: None of it happened, but none of it a lot of people have lofty goals like that. What advice would you give to someone chasing fame and fortune. [21:32] Ivan Bodley: That is so difficult? Because I'm not sure I've gotten either one, even though I've been a successful, quote unquote, successful, working class musician my whole life. [21:40] Dr. mOe Anderson: Right. The key was the chase, though. For someone, that's their objective, to chase rather than producing something excellent or a service or commitment or a mission. But that's the end goal. I just want to be famous, right? [21:59] Ivan Bodley: Yeah. The fame part of it, that's a very tenuous thing. And I've had brushes with fame. Certainly you've seen the photo album, stood next to some very famous people for very short periods of time to get a photo. But like, for instance, when I was doing the Broadway show Rock of Ages, which was like the 80s rock musical, the band was on stage, we were on stage, we were in costume and makeup and flipping our hair around for two and a half hours. So when we would come out of the stage door, very often there would be people waiting to meet the actors and get their playbills signed and maybe take a picture of that kind of thing. So when you would come out the stage door, people go like, Yay, it's the bass player. And then you were known by an audience all the way up until you turn the corner on 7th Avenue and you're famous for half a block. And then as soon as you turned the corner on 7th Avenue, you were right back into obscurity. Nobody knew who you were, nobody seen you, and it was right back to normal, everyday life. To me, fame is tenuous at kind of every level. I mean, even if you look at somebody sort of uber famous, like, I don't know, Justin Bieber or something, I have to understand that my parents generation have no idea who he is, and they don't care. It's not for them. So, yeah, he's as famous as you can get, and still not everybody is going to know him. But for me, the key was to give myself the tools that I needed to allow myself to be able to succeed. And for me, that was going back to musical, that's what I needed to do was sort of plug in the gaps in my education and give myself the possibility of them succeeding. Then once I had that possibility, then I knew it was just going to be a lot of hard work. It's still hard work. I'm still taking jobs that require a lot of transcription time, a lot of practice time, preparation time, sometimes a lot of driving, you know, like drive from New York City to Buffalo is going to be 6 hours to do a job that's going to pay me $300 which barely pays for the gas and tolls in my time. But it's all part of it. It's all part of the journey because you never know what leads to what. And all the gigs that I've told you solomon Burke and Sam Moore and all those Martha Reeves, all those gigs came from working with a band here in New Orleans called the Uptown Horns Review. The uptown Horns. They're the Horns section who played on James Brown Living in America. B 52 Loveshack Cameo ward up. They're a very famous, well established horn section. So I became their bass player through two things. One, I was touring with the Sherrells and their drummer Crusher Green was also the drummer in the Uptown Horns Review. And the other thing was, I did a $50 blues gig in Manhattan one night with a friend of mine named Timothy Beckerman, the blues siren of New Orleans. She was up here in New York and the sax player was Crispincio, who's the lead alto player in the Uptown Horn. So from a $50 job and then also from this recommendation, I got from the drummer, suddenly I started working with this group which introduced me to everybody on that list that we just talked about. And there's no way to have anticipated that that $50 job is going to lead to everything else. So you just kind of have to take everything, do everything, be prepared and show up on time. [25:32] Dr. mOe Anderson: Unfortunately. I just like to that you're saying that it was your dedication to the craft not just do anything outrageous, outlandish or whatever to get attention and be famous, but your dedication to the craft led to you getting in the company of the right people and networking and just having what is really an amazing life. These names you drop like they're nothing are just people who are legends to me. I've got vinyl in there with these folks pictures on them, which is the closest I'll ever get to them. So I'm just a little bit envious. Don't be upset with me, but I'm a little bit envious. [26:15] Ivan Bodley: I'm not mad at all. I'm a fan too. That's how I started doing this. I'm a fan of this music. My mom's record collection was Gladys Knight and the Pips and Stevie Wonder and King Floyd and I can tina Turner. Those are the records that I grew up in the house and they trained in Georgia. Thank you. That's what I grew up with. Gladys was my mom's absolute favorite. So then dedicating myself to working with these classic soul artists. This is, for me, a pilgrimage. Yeah. I love it. I can't get enough of it. The other thing too, is sort of like preparing yourself, what you're talking about, sort of doing things to get attention. That's all well and good, but then once you're given the opportunity, you need to have the goods to back it up, to be able to do the job right. Yeah, publicity stuff, that's all great, but then they say, okay, come on our stage and play. If you're not really dedicated and ready to do the job, you're not going to get a second call. It'll be a one and done. [27:17] Dr. mOe Anderson: I know, exactly. And there's a maturity and growth that happens, too. Personal growth that happens during all that. You've been through all that. I've been through all that. So many people who've worked hard and suddenly are almost famous, and people don't see everything that came before that. Which leads me to your memoir. What inspired you to write? Am I famous yet? Memoir of a working class rock star. [27:46] Ivan Bodley: I think the title describes exactly who I am. I stand next to rockstars occasionally for long enough to take a photo or play a concert, but most of what I do is I lift my own amps, I drive my own car, I work for a living. Definitely what would happen was if something crazy would happen at a sound check, for instance, between sound check and the show, usually there's a dinner break for the abandoned crew. We'll sit down and have a little catering or somebody who's going to order out sandwiches or pizza. And what would happen was I would be like, you know that thing that just happened? It reminded me of another thing that just happened on another job that was even stranger or even weirder. And I would start telling these stories to my bandmates and my compatriots and anyone who would listen. And I was told over and over again, they say, you should really write these things down because you've got so many of these road stories at this point. And I was thinking to myself, back in my publicity days for the label, I used to write the artist BIOS and the liner notes and the press releases and that kind of stuff. I always had the writing gene has always been part of what I do. So as I was being encouraged to do this, maybe about four years ago, I sat down during the winter, which is kind of my slow season, and I said, Let me start to see if I can assemble enough of these stories to see if it's a book. And I started writing and writing and writing and writing in my spare time, such as it was. And about three months in, I'm like, yeah, I think it's a book. I think we have a book there, but never quite got it finished until the world shut down two years ago. And suddenly all the live gigs dried up and we basically sat home for 15 months. It was a very scary. Time in the music business for us, everybody. But what I tried to do during that time was make lemonade out of the lemon. So I had time to finish the book, get it edited and send it to my aunt is a copy editor for Time magazine, so she kindly copied the whole book. I got it formatted. I got it put up on Amazon. I was able to finish it sort of with the time that I had. All the while, I was also, like doing home recordings via file sharing with all my other musician friends who were similarly displaced and out of work, and they're all happy to play. So I did about two albums worth of material during that time, too, which got me signed to a record label for the first time in my life as well. [30:24] Dr. mOe Anderson: Congratulations. Which record label, if I may ask? [30:28] Ivan Bodley: It's a company called Color Red. Music. Color REDCOM out in Colorado. It's run by Eddie Roberts, who is the leader of the new Master Sounds, which is a British band, like a new British version of The Meters or Booker T. And the Mg is kind of like an instrumental funk band. Really interesting. And it's a great platform for these independent musicians and they have a whole licensing wing. So hopefully one day one of my songs will show up in a TV show or commercial and like, that returns on investment. [31:02] Dr. mOe Anderson: I hope that for you. And again, congratulations. That's great news. A lot did happen during that period, but I saw some videos, I think, on YouTube, and I didn't jot down was a crab walk or crab tree. [31:20] Ivan Bodley: Crab walk. [31:22] Dr. mOe Anderson: I got to drop that in the show notes. You are hilarious. A talented musician, but also very funny and a great, great storyteller. Ivan. [31:32] Ivan Bodley: Oh, thank you. Yeah, that was another thing. During the Quarantine, I had all the time in the world to shoot my own little independent video clips to go with these projects. All that stuff is on YouTube as well. [31:43] Dr. mOe Anderson: And people can hear you and get engaged and they can connect with you on YouTube. But where else can people find you? Learn more about you download this book on Amazon guys, and my famous yet memoir of a working class rock star. But how can they connect with you online? [32:00] Ivan Bodley: The book is available as hardcover, soft cover, Kindle edition, as a podcast, as YouTube clips in any possible format that you consume. Media. I believe there's a version for you. Links to everything, everything are at my website, funkboy. Net. Funkboy. Net. Not Funky Boy. Funk Boy. Everybody spelling counts in this day and age. But it's got links to Amazon. It's got links to the YouTube stuff, it's got links to all of the recordings and way too many pictures of me standing next to famous people, which are highly amusing. [32:40] Dr. mOe Anderson: I think there is no such thing. I happen to love looking at videos and photos. And Instagram is leading the social media war right now because of their big focus on Photos. So keep posting those, keep doing your videos and keep making great music. You guys connect with Ivan. Follow him online. He is a fun and talented guy. And you just heard a story of perseverance, excellence and success. And for this moment, for this episode, I thank you. Ivan the famous Funkboy. [33:21] Ivan Bodley: Thank you so much, Doctor mOe. I really appreciate you taking interest in my work. [33:27] Dr. mOe Anderson: Wasn't that a great program? Oh, love that episode. I enjoyed it. I hope you did too. Please remember to like, subscribe and share. Learn more about me on my website, dr. Moanderson.com. That's Moe. You can read book excerpts, watch videos, learn about the services that I offer, and book me for a speaking engagement. I'd love to talk with your group and I'd love to work with you. So until the next time, review, renew and renew. Thank you.

Music On Your Own Terms 126 - Ivan Bodley - Am I Famous Yet? Joining me this episode, with a resume as long as your arm, is pro bass player, Ivan "Funkboy" Bodley, who has just released his memoir "Am I Famous Yet?". Ivan shares his music business history starting with college radio, and then working for Epic records, promoting bands like Living Colour. He then discusses what prompted him to go to Berklee to complete his foundational knowledge in order to play for a living instead of promoting other people's music. We hear about his gigs with Sam Moore of Sam And Dave, Bo Diddley, various on and off-Broadway gigs, as well as his more recent touring stint with the reformed Humble Pie prior to the start of the pandemic. Don't miss the Spinal Tap references, how washing dishes at a dude ranch led to buying a Fender P bass, that in turn allowed Ivan to purchase an apartment in Queens, and his grandmother's 102nd birthday!
