I’ll be out for a couple of days here— playing at the Jazz Station in Eugene tonight with flugelhornist Dmitri Matheny, attending a memorial service for my partner/wife’s mother, and having my own birthday with family in Eugene— that’s Monday the 27th, an excellent day to do something nice to support the blog, if you’re so inclined…
