Puttin on the ritz! OK, it's a first, we ate breakfast at the Ritz-Carlton, courtesy of Harold Fethe, JMW Board member and stellar guitar player. Thanks man, it's a far cry from the dollar meal at McD's, I'll tell you! Then we drove north, took on the Golden Gate Bridge and took some shots at the vista point (I'll post as soon as I get a fast connection).

We played and walked the town of Mill Valley met some great folks a made a podcast or two, didn't even get rousted by all the cops. I guess the band has taken it to a new level.

Then on to Fairfax, and our dear friends Wendy and Tim. First we went to a slamming dinner at Sorella's, a first-class Italian restaurant (and having been to Italy as many times as I have you can tell an impostor before you go in. This is the real deal). We ate family style, and they generously donated the meal to the cause...wow! What an eating day we had...it just kept getting better. We played some tunes in and out of the place and manged to stop in a few different places as we walked over to the hit to drum up (or in this case box up) some people for our hit at 19 Broadway. Man, what a fun time!  With all of the street hits, it was nice to play with amps and a full drum set, find out how the arrangements are faring, I must admit, I was not at all disappointerd. Young Noah has taken his game to new level everyday, oh to be that young again. We had lots of sitters-in,  even a mosh pit slam dance cow bop style session, you had to have seen it.

We have the long trek up the north coast now, real pioneering in store, wish us luck. The gig ran very late, we just didn't want to stop. However, I think I'll let this go for now and catch up tomorrow, stay tuned.

Gentle reminder: We're out here for JazzMasters Workshop, all of the funds we raised from tonight's gig were donated by evereyone in the band. Can you help out too? Pleeeze!

      HI gang--We miss you already! I have some pledges coming from the Cetrella audience, which I'll forward to Bruce ASAP. A memorable Tuesday night, which is usually soundless at Cetrella, and a great audience mix of local regulars (who became supporters on-the-spot in many cases) and the extra turnout from Cow Bop fans. I will convey our thanks to Paul Shenkman and Laurie Glynn, who opened the doors for us. Sorry I can't tag along for the rest of the tour, but it's nephew Eric's last few days here before return to Florida for school. Besides, I'm not sure I'm as tough as you full-on Cow Boppers. A priceless experience, all the way through. We love you all!
