Re: Jazz in Chicago

Thanks, Rita, but that'd be hard. Working two jobs starting this week-- adding a visiting lecturer gig at Framingham State U. to my reg full time job as an insurance regulator. Anyhow, my irritation wasn't directed so at missing a Melford concert as at the cuckoo quarter system. It's a ...

Re: Jazz in Chicago

Anybody here go to the Chicago Jazz Festival? Looks like Myra Melford was there. (If NU had started earlier, I might have gone there with my daughter, but the stupid quarter system!) :x Image

Happy B-Day! :party: BTW, regarding membership outreach, AllAboutJazz has been down for a while now, and maybe it's for good this time. There were still a bunch of active posters there. I don't know how you can contact them--but if you can, I would! Never mind. AAJ is up and running again.....

Re: Happy Father's Day!

Not that anyone asked, but my Fathers' Day kind of sucked. My mother-in-law died about a week prior, and my daughters and I spent the day in airports and on airplanes returning from Little Rock. My wife didn't come back until the following day.
