Jazz By The Bay

A few weeks ago I was hired by the Gulf Coast Jazz Society to create a highlight DVD of their annual Jazz By The bay festival. The festival is held every October in Oaks By The Bay Park in the historic St. Andrews section of Panama City Florida. The performers are all excellent musicians who play true jazz music, not the "smooth jazz" that permeates the so called jazz radio stations today. If you missed it this year, make sure to check it out next year and if you think you don't like jazz music, watch the video below and maybe it will change your mind.

Panama City History

On October 4th 2008 there was an open house at the recently restored Panama City Publishing Company building on Beck Avenue in the historic St. Andrews section.

Below is a short video I put together. I hope you enjoy it.

September 11th Remembered

Just taking a moment today to reflect and remember the people and events of 9-11.

I was still in the USAF during that time and stationed at Osan Air Base in South Korea. I was living in a dormitory on base and I remember the guy in the room next to me knocking on my door at about 11:30PM local time to tell me that a plane had hit The World Trade Center. A few moments later we were called to report for duty and everyone was confined to base.

I will always remember.
