Hi there,

Had a great gig with Tanya Balakirski last night in Sumy (Ukraine). We played some of Joni Mitchell songs and I played solo too. There were a lot of people out and they were incredibly polite and attentive. Also I met some great musicians there (see fotos below). Everyone sounded great and it was just a lot of fun.
with great jazz journalist and radio producer Alex Kogan.
