Hello from Rochester, NY,

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND A HAPPY, HEALTHY 2021!

♦ SOME MEMORIES OF 2020:
Actually, most of us would like to erase all memories of 2020… Among the many disappointments of this past year was the cancellation of the Red Wings season and my 44th season as organist… The absence of live music in clubs and concerts… The COVID forcing us to stay home watch TV by the
hour… Watching sporting events with empty stadiums… The bizarre Presidential election… Sadly losing musicians / entertainers: Bill Withers, Kenny Rogers, Little Richard, Helen Reddy, McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Heath, Charlie Daniels, John Prine, Ellis Marsalis, Trini Lopez, Lee Konitz, Eddie Van Halen, Annie Ross, Bucky Pizzarelli and Johnny Nash.

♦ SOME THINGS I'D LIKE TO SEE IN 2021:
The country getting somewhat back to normal…Venues re-opening with "live" music … Crowded Concerts… Roar of Stadium Crowds… Dinner with friends… A championship for the Rochester Red Wings … Organists for all baseball teams… A return of the Rochester Jazz Festival…Republicans and
Democrats working together for the good of the people instead of their greedy selves…More variety and less reality shows on TV… Newscasts with some good news…A downtown casino to save everyone the trips to Buffalo and Del Lago… Finally, all of you to have a Happy, Healthy, Prosperous, Love filled New Year!
