What an assembly!

It’s been years since this particular fellowship has gathered, and what a grand celebration it was.

Joining me were Mr. Y, Herr O the rock ‘n’ roll doktor, and RDG.

Catering by OLG:

The set list:

Pretty nice, right?

The last official track was number 23 which was a mingling round in which we enjoyed the catering. Just shy of completing the first half of the second Circle we had a heck of a time.

Certainly some extraordinary songs were played, a couple of questionable choices, and certainly this particular assembly was not prone to the free expression aspect but, if there were any other assembly having as good a time as this:

I ain’t never seen it.

And here is one of the many moments:

And yes, a ghost story was told. I also noticed that there were some unfinished businesses. So, as a courtesy I’ll leave the Venmo information below for everyone to settle the score.

Until next time!

Got to spend some holiday car time with Brother Jerome. Driving between Porter Square and Allston and back again. Digging the jazz Christmas of Jimmy Smith, Duke Pearson, Bobby Timmons, and Kenny Burrell.

Returning to his parking lot for these numbers to land the ship:Joy and Celebration manifest indeed!
