| Pandemic calling on Zoom! | I have enjoyed many calling opportunities on Zoom, at a range of venues, with musicians from all around the country. Huge Thanks are due to organizers in Philadelphia, Washington DC, Seattle, and elsewhere, along with organizations such as CDSS, FSGW, Dance Flurry, and NEFFA. Notable technical wizards make it all work, including Charlie Pilzer, Ian Brehm, and Alan Roberts (among many). | Bravo to all the Artists and Volunteers who are keeping our community connected in these difficult times ! |
