• July 11 - from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. - with Pete Toyne on guitar at the Public House

  Pete is an extremely fine jazz guitar player, well known in the area for many years. He invited me to play string bass with him at the Public House for the first time. I was much looking forward to it as I had wanted to accompany him for a long time. So, of course, I had a flat tire and was a half-hour late. It was still great. Pete is absolutely awesome!
