Hi everyone, this is Yae. Bob, I and Budsie are finally chilling after very busy but super fun trip to the Midwest! Last week I saw some of Montana jazz fans came to listen to vibraphonist Peter Schlamb, drummer John Kizilarmut, and Bob @ The Walkers in Billings and Plonk in Bozeman. They were so touched by hospitality of Montana jazz fans!
