Friday, 8/14/2015 was my birthday and a continuation of more good live music from what was a great jazz jam session at BEYU on Wednesday 8/14 with John Brown, Andrew Berinson, Johnathan Curry, Brian Miller.     That session was treated to participation from several folks, Curtis - drums, Felix - drums, Dan -sax, a couple of vocalists, an additional smokin' sax player, etc.  Keepin' on.

Friday night 8/13 started at BEYU with Carolyn Mitchell who was excellent.  If you missed her, check her on the net for some youtube performance and where she'll be next.  That fun session was followed by stop at CUBAN REVOLUTION for Peter Lamb &...... with Al Strong as a guest performer.  They rocked the place.
