Hello from Portland!

We have had a wonderful time here in Portland with a great dance with Portland Lindy Society, a quick hit at the Portland icon record store, Music Millennium and two very appreciative retirement communities. Tonight, Saturday, is our Hoagy Carmichael show, Carnival of Joy with special guest appearances by Rebecca Kilgore. Here is Ivories website and today it says "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!" Very clever!
