HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!
When I have more time I will tell you about Memphis. Suffice it to say that I did not make the finals or the semi-finals, and of course I did not win. It was disappointing but I learned a few things about the IBC. I played well, and people reacted to me positively, but the judges apparently see the beauty of my presentation. 
I did have some minor equipment problems which may have detracted ever so slightly to my score but I was happy with my performances in the two rounds of 1/4 finals.
Thursday I will be at Plantation Walk in Fort Lauderdale.
Friday the Robert Ross Band performs at Hurricane Wings in Wellington. 
And Saturday I will perform at Luna Star in Miami for the first time in about 5 or 6 years. 
Come on out to the clubs and Say Hey !!
