Planning a Concert

We are both tying up loose ends from the Jazz Festival and initiating the planning process to do a concert in late May or June.

After the disastrous Valentines Day Show, we feel that we have to put up or shut up or we can't criticize anymore.

So a concert is born.

This one will be Yella and Friends.

We have waited 2 & 1/2 years to do this. People have been bugging Yella to do a concert for over 2 years.

I guess now is the time.

We are talking to Paul to be the music director. I have mentioned Paul in the past as the best musician in Chirqui. If he decides to do it, this will be a huge leap forward to a high quality show.

Our friend Keith has offered to be the producer. A generous offer because this is a big, busy job.

With this kind of momentum, the project will probably be a "GO".

We will have to weave the rehearsals into the time left over from all our visiting friends.

We had only a few visitors in the first 2 years. Now the flood gates are open and so many friends are coming!

I can't wait to show them Panama!

One of the privileges of living here, is showing our friends the place.

Out of all the brilliance of the jazz and the pressure to put on a high quality show, I have started practicing guitar again.

I am back to the basics...scales, scales and more scales. Plus a little fun stuff...learning songs.

All in all, it is gratifying to learn and improve skills.

I better get to practicing.
