Tony: I'm sure you must have read great review they wrote in the Providence Journal. Pure talent for sure.

When I was a young boy growing up in Providence that's one of the theatres we went to see movies ( late 50s early 60s) As I recall I saw "Goldfinger" and the "Dirty Dozen" there.

Tony, now you're talkin.

That sounds like a fantastic concert Tony. You just can't beat live music. That's what keeps me playing in a band. I just love the spontaneous reaction working with other musicians. Sure the money is lousy but the fun is big time.

At the same time I also appreciate the talent of OMB performers using arrangers. That also takes great talent to pull off an inspiring performance by yourself. It's apples and oranges.
