What You Missed: We do not do weekly Tues night discussions in Jan & Feb, but we still stay in touch at social events. We had a great time at Flaherty’s on Jan 5^th and heard Marty Roberts play and sing and then extended the evening at Michael’s in Penfield where we heard some really good jazz singers, and chatted up a storm until midnight.
