Well, I've already made my reservation for next Friday night's late show at The Dirty Dog Jazz Cafe. We were told that on Friday and Saturday nights, the musicians can jam until 2 a.m. and I am definitely up for that! I spent much of today (Friday) burning CDs of the photos I took at Wednesday night's performance. I then dropped off the CDs at the Cafe for Gretchen, the owner, and for each of the musicians. As there were 60 photos on Gretchen's master copy, I didn't bother to edit or resize them. If they want to use them online or for hard copy publicity, they can take care of that themselves.

I like to do this for musicians and club owners because I so appreciate what they give to the world. A good number of my photos already grace the web sites of jazz and experimental musicians in the U.S. and Canada. All I ask is that I am credited whenever my photos are used. It's my privilege to offer what I can to help keep jazz and experimental music alive. I know that, except for the superstars, there's not much money to be made in the music business. And to make it at all, most musicians have to spend a lot of time on the road. But I also know how it feels to be doing what you love. And the musicians I know love making music more than anything in the world. They deserve my support.
