MY APOLOGIES

If you had to wait:

I'm sorry for making you wait and I know how that feels

I can't get a picture of everyone...especially if I'm playing.
If there's a shot of you out there send it to me.

If you want one of these shots email me and tell me specifically which one and I'll send you a file big enough for a 5 X 10

MY THANKS

To the great players all night long. Jazz, Blues, Fusion, never a dull moment...super creative!

To the young new elementary students and wood shedding college players...awesome!

To Grumpy's BBQ for believing in all of us and having parents, kids, and crazies like me and G-Man George!

To everybody who came, played, ate and drank.
Keep coming back!!
