Have fun, let us know what the music scene is like!
I'm curious too. There're some good players in Charlotte if they haven't retired; e.g. Willie Gillam(sp), alto, and I-forget-his-first-name Hannah, piano & tbone. I've also heard of some good younger cats too, but I'm out of that loop.
re: Morganton, NC What's happening jazz wise in Morganton? [i might move there in a year or so.]
