VALENTINE'S DAY CONCERT

WOW!  My statement is THANK YOU to everybody who had anything to do with the concert on Sunday afternoon 2/14/16.  This was one of those sessions where everything was Cookin'.  "THE JOINT WAS JUMPIN' "  and any miscues didn't even matter.  The jazz studies programs at our Triangle universities are to be given a big fat "RIGHT ON"!  TO THE POWERS THAT BE WHO CAN KEEP THIS EVENT (AND MORE LIKE IT) A HAPPENING ---  PLEASE DO!   My special thanks to JOHN BROWN, JIM KETCH, AND IRA WIGGINS.  You gentlemen and your staffs continue to be my heroes.  OF COURSE,  ANYBODY WHO WANTS THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING JUST NEEDS TO CATCH YOUR STUDENTS/GRADUATES IN PERFORMANCE.  I hope the Valentine's Day concert was recorded.  Please let us know when that product is available.  An OH YEAH goes out to the jazz lovers of Durham, NC and environs  -  you folks were also rockin' and did a great job of showing your appreciation to the performers.   So, to all concerned,  "KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON".   Edward (Ed)  Furtick, Jr. and  Ellen Friedland  --  EF2
