A few pictures


Sonny Rollins sings a blues for his last tune...I don't think this happens very often...he was feeling really good that night. It was pretty cool to see.

Sonny playing during the concert at the Touhill


Me with Sonny after the show...he was a pretty great guy.


In other news, I have taken over running the Bistro!!!.........for this weekend at least.... Bob (one of my bosses) is going up to New Jersey this weekend for a Bruce Springsteen concert (gross) and leaving me in charge of allll the stuff at the club this weekend. Frank Catalano, a tenor sax player from Chicago is playing this weekend on Friday and Saturday. I have to take care of everything, including setup, soundcheck, front of house, artist relations and payment. I have done all of this stuff before, but being the only one there and doing it all by myself is a bit stressful. I'm looking forward to the opportunity though and I'm glad everyone trusts me to run the place by myself!

Also....HOW 'BOUT DEM BEARS!!!! They had another nail biter this past Sunday, playing like crap for the majority of the game...but I was glad to see them pull out another win. Hopefully this weekend against the Lions won't be quite as stressful, but coming off the Lions first win, I am a bit scared...but just a bit.

If you get bored, here are a couple of things to check out on YouTube (just click the links): Black Dynamite trailer (a '70s blaxploitation spoof that looks incredibly hilarious), Christian Scott (a trumpet player that I have just come across...he is a modern jazz player and what I have heard, I like...click here for another tune) and Frank Catalano if you get a chance.

talk to you soon!
