I can’t believe it will be 2022 in few days! Bob has had many outside gigs, great recordings, and lots of miles on our Subaru. And many Zoom meetings with friends. We are still in Point Richmond, CA to help Bob’s sister Carla. It has been raining pretty good and warm. Well, this is the last jazz newsletter in 2021 and will see you in 2022!! Happy New Year!!
My 2022 calendar with two folded cards are still on sale!! If you are interested and would like to support BigSkyJazz, please take a look 2022 Calendar page and order one set, or more.
