A big welcome back to wayward percussionist Gina Knight, who answered a last minute call to arms from flu stricken drummer Steve Hawk. Claudia and Meg arrived early enough to enjoy a Guiness or two in honor of Claudia's big four-oh.
Guitarist Keith Baumann made rare Hackney's appearance, as he celebrated spring break from his teaching gig at Chicago's Old Town School of Music. Terry Connell and Tom Tumino again sat in on trumpet. What happenned to Ed Klinger? He disappeared after the first set! Didn't he see that the Cub's openner was on over the bar?
More great additions to the book tonight - especially Carribean Clipper, which is a poppin gem you don't hear every day.
