....good one!

I'm a friend...but I don't think they will let me play .

Hi Chuck...I don't know Steve but I'm sure we bumped into each other a few times as the place was pretty crowded and standing room only for most of the three days I was there. They shot a ton of video as well...I hope much of the music and video make it out one of these days very soon. m

..as you mention, part of the DBOT. I've seen him many times...mostly on b3, once or twice on piano. Great player... a funny cat and great live. Catch him if you can. m

...and finally Douglas Ewart...great player and a wonderful human being! Too many other photograhs taken but wanted to share a sampling from the event.
