Several years ago, I was at the make-up counter in Bloomingdales when suddenly everything stood still and turned quiet. I looked around and saw tons of body guards at all sides of the store, looking very serious and formal. Then I saw several men escorting someone through the store, they walked fast. Who was it? Mr Stevie Wonder- he looked larger than life, he walked with a relaxed pace and warm smile. It was in that moment that I felt I had been in the presence of greatness- a distinguished artist and master. And………he’s back- next week @ Dreamforce. And….. in his honor, I will play one of my favorite Stevie Wonder tunes each day before Dreamforce.
I’m putting my bold and ambitious agenda together as I will be wearing many hats to complement my multiple personalities- It’s just me, really.
Monday, December 6th- I get my badge and run over to the Marketo booth and put my mic on for my interview with Jon Miller. Marketo is live streaming over 20 hours of interviews with thought leaders, speakers, about anything from Sales 2.0 to Cloud Computing to Stevie Wonder.
After that, I run to the Dreamforce Press Room and get my blogging pass because I am blogging/tweeting the event.

There is a new book out Muzik Kinda Sweet, featuring pics of Stevie in Birmingham England. Taken during the 1980s by legendary photographer Pogus Caesar. This book is a must have if only for the rarity of the images. A real treasure for Stevie’s real fans.
