I must admit membership has it's privileges. I am not a member, but Vince gardner is one. I can't believe that last night, I actually.... got to sit backstage with Vince Gardner, Ryan Kisor, Marcus Printup, Wynton, Walter Blanding, Victor Going, Herlin Riley, and the list goes on and on. I believe these next set of pictures that I will put on my blog will can it forever....LOL....Well for awhile atleast.
It was great chilling and talking with my idols,... people like Marcus Printup and Ryan Kisor. It was also my pleasure to meet the man subbing for the man himself, Mr. Marsalis. Mr. James Zollar is from Kansas City and a ridiculously good trumpet player, soloist, and musician. I got to speak with him for a couple of minutes last night and I said, " I look down the trumpet section, and saw you, and was like who is this guy playing like that?" He laughed and said thanks. overall everyone was a delight to meet and the Ghanian Drummers were super cool too. I felt at home listening to the african patterns and listening to their singing. the writing of Mr. Marsalis is getting to that next level. It has always been great, but he has alleavated, and become a great composer.
I think, all and all it was a great experience for everyone, and if not for everyone, atleast one. That one would be me. Talk to you all soon!

Hello Jarritt,
I too was at the West Palm Beach gig. Yes, it was a totally killin' gig. The entire band went clean off. Actually, we talked for a minute at the hotel in Miami. If I remember correctly your Vincent's friend. You were out there with your boy who plays at Heat games with you. What 'bout our Heat baby...NBA Champs...Yeah Babieee!!!
Take care,
Edna Lucho
