Thanks! Actually I'm involved in a lot of playing on DelMarVa. Leaving for a gig now, in fact. Are you in the region?

@naizret Cool! That may mean you get over here (DelMarVa) on occasion. Let me know if you'd like me to send a schedule. Also, will be at 49 West in Annapolis for a solo stride concert on 1/14/12. Nothing scheduled closer to you at the moment, but if you want, I can let you know when. Working one of the restaurant venues for the Rehoboth Beach jazz festival starting tonight, so off I go ... (thanks again)

Joe, this is one of the songs I really love...and there are so many different versions of it out there...your spontaneous riffs kept me guessing where you would take it....and you took me to some great places.... fantastic!

[joeholtsnotes]

Thanks!

It's fun to perform without a net (once you get used to it)! :)

[naizret]

Very nicely done, versatile, swinging, and slightly bluesy. (I had no idea there was decent jazz on the Eastern Shore.)

Thanks!

Really great Joe.

Then cast that net aside and play on :-)
