'Nuther Thank You to Rachel!

Awhile back you may recall me talking about receiving an autograph from Rachel Fuller upon which my husband accidentially wrote a phone number!! ::thwaps Bob:: Well I'm shouting out a huge thank you, as today sitting down to dinner I opened my mail to find that she'd sent me another, this time accompanied by her picture.

Once again, thanks Rachel!!! You're gorgeous AND a sweetie!!

The Groove Traveled to My House..

.. from Syracuse and hand delivered his brand new CD just last night!

Having spent the end of the week as a professional clinician, coaching musicians at the All County Jazz Festival in Mexico NY, Lane crashed with us Saturday night, cracking jokes and laying down a few vocal tracks, before heading home to Lancaster. Thanx Lane!! I have to honestly say the CD is.. awesome. Anyone who'd like to order a copy can find it on his website:

Lane Stowe - Vocalist - Horn Player - Bass Player

And while you're there, be sure to take a listen to *Flight of the Bondage Penguin*.

Have Groove Will Travel

And speaking of talented (in this case ex) locals, I am eagerly awaiting the soon to be released "Have Groove Will Travel" CD from Lane Stowe.

Lane played the local circuit while he was in town, but hails from upstate New York. Supremely versatile, he is accomplished in jazz, R&B, Rock and Roll, funk and gospel. Having studied jazz guitar with Steve Brown (Jazz) and vocals with David Riley (New York Voices), Lane's worked with a gamut of talent, including Lew Tabackin, Marvin Stamm, Tony Levin, Jack DeJohnette, Bernard Purdie, Chris Vadala, Steve Gilmore, Gus Mancini, Pat Cerello, Tom Hamilton, Ed Alstrom, Freddie Hendrix, Jan Stevens and Rick Altman.

Lane, if you're reading this, when the CD is out, will you let us know where to purchase a copy!??!! And for those inclined, drop by his blog and wave hello: Lane's Place
