I tried to get in but it was sold out. Great marketing job! I have heard all these ladies before, however, so I'm confident the show was a success. I'm curious to know who won the scat contetst.

Where are the male jazz singers in Philadelphia. That is a segment of the music that does not get much exposure. I'm sure there is talent out there. Any thoughts/

Hey Kevin, I attempted to respond to you a couple of weeks ago, however, it did not trave through cyber space (lol). Any who, sorry you was not able to get into the show. It was great. The male vocals are around, however, you have to make your rounds. They really don't get their just due. I am going o do another production called the 2nd "knight of the King Crooners." I have selected my line up. A few years back I did this production at the Freedom Theater but the turn out left a lot to be desired. Hopefully, this time I will promote it differently. I haven't picked a date yet, but it will be soon. I will be at Larose tonight so hope to see you there. I hear you are going to be at Ortliebs. I'll try to check you out. In the meantime, I will let my video person know you will be getting in touch with them regarding your recording.
