Hello, my dear friends, we are almost there; I am talking about the weather. It is getting warmer, and we can start coming out to enjoy the good music and events that our musicians are trying so hard to present to us. Do you remember the jazz jam sessions we used to have at the Sportsmen Lounge on Monday nights and at the Bird Cage in East Baltimore? It may be coming back, thanks to so many of our young generations of musicians. I’m talking about the sons and daughters of the deceased, and local musicians who are ready to retire. They have taught them well.
