The August issue of the International Musician features a profile of former Navy musician, MUCM Manny Cepeda.
The IM is no fan mag; it's the official journal of the American Federation of Musicians. When you get featured here, you're doing things right.
Manny, the article points out, is busy as a San Diego composer, performer and educator and band leader. This, of course, is nothing new. During his 31 years of service, Manny led the Steel Band and the U.S. Navy Show Band.
Here's a short clip of Manny Cepeda (in the white hat) performing at Harrah's.
