The 2009 Salt Lake City Jazz Festival, July 10th-12th

They tell me to expect a crowd of between 3,500 and 5,000 people Friday night. Join us if you can (click the pic above to go to their website). It should be spectacular. Projected to be fair and about 80 degrees by our showtime (9:30 pm).

BTW, I just came from the studio, listening to the Lopez brothers work on vocal tracks for the new CD. Amazing. Lenny was working on his lead vocal on Nathan's "Into The Light." Jerry at the console. It is absolutely Al Jarreau quality.

WE'RE FLYING DELTA TO SLC ON FRIDAY

This news item caught my attention:
Flier's revenge: United customer gets even with hit music video
Posted by: Sean O'Neill, Thursday, Jul 9, 2009, 10:42 AM

Wow. Only three days ago, songwriter Dave Carroll posted a video to YouTube recounting how some United ground crew workers seriously damaged his guitar. Since then, it's gotten more than 450,000 views, and United called to make amends.

Here's the lowdown. Carroll had to pay $1,200 to fix his Taylor guitar on a spring 2008 set of flights from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Omaha, Neb. The guitar case had survived 50 flights in recent years with no problem, thanks to its foamy nylon exterior. But something went wrong on this particular United flight. And representatives for the company refused to own up to having caused any damage.

Carroll got a bunch of friends together to record the video for free. In the key of D, he sings about what happened.

And it became an overnight sensation. United contacted Carroll to apologize, according to the LA Times.



LOL! Ouch. I have to check a heavy suitcase full of CDs and DVDs. I hope they don't break or steal anything.
