It was a great start to what I hope to be an annual event in Sherman, which can showcase the museum, and a guest artist.

I love the energy the rhythm section puts out, and there is no doubt where the time is!  This was recorded around December of 1953.  This is also one of my favorite tunes, “After You’ve Gone”.
