As 2007 comes to a close I would like to give thanks for the richness that a number of us have experienced at The Lodge at Sonoma. As I said the other night, if I could bottle it and share it with the world it would make this planet we live on a better place. The talented and sweet musicians that pour everything into their performance, the intimacy and warmth in which we get to experience their every note and nuance has brought all of us much gratitude and appreciation for the musicians and the music. Janice and I have so enjoyed being able to work with Dave Dolquist and we look forward to the continuation in 2008 of one of the Bay Area's finest listening venues for jazz.
