Saturday, January 28th Lazlo Gardony

Lazlo Gardony is a great jazz piano player and composer. He and his band were in concert at the Jame's Library in Norwell MA, so Don and I got tickets to go see him. There were only 100 people in the crowd, a sold out crowd. It was like being in the living room with the band! It was a wonderful concert.

Paula and I saw lots of exciting, strange and interesting films at the Banff Mountain Film Festival, including this one about a drummer who always wanted to be a Flying Drummer.
