Live Music: Catching Up with Myron Hyman
Steve Wong, Times-News correspondent
“I love to play both places big and small,” he said. “Every gig is a new adventure.”
At 63, he is unassuming and easily fits in the WNC culture. You might not ever guess he has played with some big name musicians and even had his original music performed for the likes of actress Calista Flockhart at the 100th episode party of the comedy series Ally McBeal (1997-2002).
“That was such a fun show to work on,” Hyman said. “I was in charge of the lighting. On that show every week there was the bar scene, and we got some great acts in there. One day a musician was late and one of the producers, Steve Robin, asked me to sit in on the drums. Jane Krakowski was singing. I am not a drummer but could hold a beat. Right before we were going to film, the drummer showed up, (and) that was the end of my drumming career.
