Our first summer surprise: Blues Pianist Eric Adcock graces the Portland City Grill

I am amazed at how quickly the months fly by. It's summer! Time for some fun...

We all had a delightful surprise last night at the Portland City Grill.  Eric Adcock, New Orleans Blues pianist extraordinaire, is in town performing with Roddie Romero & the Hub City All-Stars in the Portland Blues Festival (in fact, they play today at 4:10 and 8:20 p.m.)  Eric and his wonderful wife, Jennifer, stopped by to enjoy the PCG atmosphere and view last night.  I knew exactly how to handle that situation: put him to work on our Yamaha Grand.  Thanks, Eric, for sitting in for a couple tunes. The music was sublime.  Let's do it again some time soon (maybe tomorrow night, if you're still in town). Have fun at the Festival, and have fun visiting to our fair city. Maybe we can make it down to New Orleans and see you there.

If you are in the neighborhood, I'll be playing Sunday at the PCG from 5-8 p.m.
