Well - It's been a while since my last blog. I have met so many friends that I had lost contact over the years through
this music project! I am grateful for Facebook.com to allow me to have a "catching up" session with good friends.

WDCB c/o College of DuPage Attn: Paul Abella Music Director
I might also
suggest recategorizing this. You're calling this easy listening and smooth jazz, and it's not. It's just hands down some great
Brazilian influenced jazz, and I'm impressed. ----------------------------------------------------------
