countdown to 07-07-07

In the crescent city, and I must admit, it overloads the senses... we just left the guys in the French Quarter following 3 great sets from the Trombone Summit at the Preservation Hall. These amazing hole-in-the-wall places that my compadres were able to seek out in all of the research etc. have made for an incredible trip! Honestly my contributions to the planning of the trip were definitely minimal, but I am learning a lot and am in awe of all of the sights, sounds, changes and environments we have found ourselves in. ... Quite a way to start of another year in the life and what better way to do it then among the company of friends. So cheers to those who are not present - in the flesh - on our excursion, but enjoying on the sidelines. Great to have you along! til soon.... the old laudy ;-)
