Hope you have a blast, David. I'm actually kind of pleased that I'm sorta kinda almost helping the music-making process in my own little way.

Break a leg, I would love to go if I could. I think SF and Yoshi's would love to have you.

This was a fabulous concert. I highly recommend it if you can make it out tonight. Good to see George Cables looking healthy.

The material was from the Lighthouse sessions (Blue Note and Fresh Sound) and the Last Session.
