GA Russell Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 Wow! $350 is a lot of money, but it sounds terrific. I hope the famous guys are not too old to do their thing well. Quote
graaspiano Posted September 21, 2005 Author Report Posted September 21, 2005 I'm flying in from Wisconsin. I bought tickets for some of the events. Richard Todd is featured in a concert of my uncle John Graas' music. I'm also hoping to meet Bud Shank and Herb Geller, etc. who worked with John. All the events sound interesting to me. Quote
