Austin, Dallas, Portland and Seattle!

Hey Everyone!  
Last week we hosted a truly amazing concert at Casa Karen featuring Sorin Zlat on piano. He is a monster player!! I'm definitely a new fan. Check him out! We had a great audience and the entire evening was truly special. Great friends, great music and now some beautiful musical memories.  Here's a shot of the band getting ready to go on. From Left to right, drummer Daniel Dufour, pianist Sorin Zlat, sax Woody Witt and bass David Craig.

I hope to get Sorin back to Austin soon!
