went downtown last night to hear cousin A play tenor sax in a jazz quartet...unbelievable musicians on guitar, bass and drums as well...my mom and uncle were there too and we stayed for a couple of hours...very relaxing and so much fun to watch them playing too, most of the time with their eyes closed...maybe i'll be able to play guitar like that someday ;) so proud of him for sticking with his dreams and what he loves.
the spot has been there for 50 years (or maybe more)...on the way out, my mom spoke with an older woman towards the back who explained that she had been coming to the club for 50 years since she was in her 20's...saw the light rail car pass by through the window while watching my cousin and then wondered what it must have been like when she was in the same area 50 years prior...
btw - found this and others
