:Life's been busy of late. In January I was snuggled up toe to top in Paris and oh man it was cold. The Boogie Woogie at Verrieres les Buisson raised the temperature though. Got to see the fabulous Jo Bonshak doing his thing as well as my good friend Jean Pierre Bertrand.

We're also wrapping up the new album for the Piano Organ Trio with Tommy Thomsen and Jimmy Hobson. Got the photos, now we're getting the gigs. Keep yours eyes peeled 'cause we plan on covering some territory.

In June I get to go to Vienna which is a first so you know I'm pretty excited. The piano players on that show include Michael Pewny, Carl Sonny Leyland and Little Willie Littlefield. Plan your vacation - this will be a concert not to miss. Three days of it.
