Hi Folks, coming to you at this last minute before Christmas. We just got done with our rehearsal for the Del Mar Christmas Eve concert. We’ve got a fantastic program planned with a whole collection of great musos in the line up. We hit at 1PM tomorrow and look below if you need the details. I know things are busy but if you can squeak away, we’d love to have you. Take in the schooled chaos of jazz; hear Fred and I trying to keep it clean and fast, even though the air is cold and our hands are numb; hear Kevyn and Coral share the warmth of the samba; hear Duncan and Gunnar making the low end dance; hear the Benedetti’s share some great tunes from their brand new CD; and watch Tripp beam as young Kate sings her heart out. Good times for certain and we’ll see you there!
