Southern Maryland Balloon Festival Aug 26th

Just a few photos to share from the balloon festival in Prince Frederick, MD.  I have lots more, but I'm busy getting ready for the Artwalk in Leonardtown square tomorrow 5-8 pm.  More later.

Clazzical Jazz Tributary Concert July 22, 2017

I just posted photos of the Clazzical concert on July 22, starring Don Stapleson on Flute, Fred Lieder on Cello, Peter Fields on Guitar, and Jennifer Cooper, singer on my Facebook site.    The concert was part of the final weekend of the River Concert series.  To quote Don Stapleson's Clazzical Project business card, "Where classical meets Jazz in delightfully unexpected ways"  I liked that.  They were wonderful and fun.

The Last River Concert of the Summer

The concert on Friday, July 22nd featured Mambo, Salsa, Miles Davis and more.  The evening was quite warm and I was pretty busy. I even visited the stage to share my framed signed photo of Jeffrey Silberschlag with the crowd and sat at the Chesapeake Orchestra's booth during intermission to sell my donated photo of the music director for the orchestra.
