Silicon Gulch Jazz Band gig ...

In early July, I went out to Stanford to participate in the Triple Helix Conference and got two chances to play with the Silicon Gulch Jazz Band.  First, I sat in on their regular Tuesday night gig at the Swinging Door Pub in San Mateo, and then they arranged for me to play at the banquet of the Triple Helix Conference ... actually, I got them the gig, so I suppose it was only fitting.  It is such a treat to play with these first rate musicians, and their leader Dave Kawamoto, whom I've known and played gigs with for several years, has extended me a standing invitation to sit in whenever I'm in the Bay Area.
