Hey all!
I'm going to Europe, with River Cities Jazz, for a 2 week tour to raise funds for polio eradication in India and Southeast Asia! This is a once in a lifetime trip, with the final destination being the Montreux Jazz Festival in Montreux, Switzerland, along Lake Geneva in the Swiss Riviera. I can't take you with me physically, but I can take you virtually. Join me as I prepare as a musician for this prestigious event at Wordpress - the link is below this paragraph. You can subscribe to the blog, and get updates on a regular basis via email or RSS. You will get to see a formal, extended practice structure, the ups and downs of being a "weekend warrior" musician, and the trip, with video, audio, and photos posted on a daily basis. We leave on June 23rd and return July 7th. Hope you will join me! LL | ||||
