music in common


It was a joy to celebrate the release of Lynette Nejaime's documentary film


Many musicians knew Danny Pearl, and were grateful to gather at Todd Mack's for the first FODfest (Friends of Danny.) Danny  sat in with my band for several gigs, and would come over to rehearse at the American House B&B.
