... my very good friend and former band mate, Frank ... We played at the Richmond county Country Club in Staten Island NY on Saturday ... I tried to record some tunes with my ZOOM h4n, but I kept getting "DATA WRITE ERROR" ... The gig went great and a $100 tip was added by the client ...

Tony, playing out is a joy, but never as good as playing together with an old friend. My sax player for 45 years and I see each other two or three times a week.
A good friend is at the top of the list; even better if he is a musician.
John C. PS, you look happy in the picture. (smile)

John ... absolutely ... Frank and I have been friends since we were about 17 years old and started playing in a band together ... He and his wife are Godparents for our daughter, and I was his son's sponsor for Confirmation ... our wives are best of friends ... The fact that he is a great sax player is just the icing on the cake ...
Tony, Way to go my friend! You two look dapper! That's great too being friends since 17 years old! As I recall Frank is the guy who taught himself to play piano as well?
