NEWS - As I write this (October 28), I know that production on my new CD with Jacob Zimmerman and Matt Weiner is just about done, and it should be available in a few days through me and wherever I play. Anyone who can get to the Royal Room November 26 from 4 to 6 will find us playing there and with CD's available.

The West Coast Ragtime Festival comes up in November and I look forward to that. I just finished a new idea "Jigsaw Rag" and will be trying it out there. I don't know the full schedule yet, but I do know I will have a duet set with Marty Eggars.

I also anticipate a great reunion of jazz friends at a party this month for my long time friend, sax player John Smith. More on that later
