Thank you Westport, NY for the standing ovation! It was lovely to see you all and can’t wait to return!

Thank you to everyone at the Mill in the Adirondacks for a truly beautiful night. (Excerpt from Mohanam Hymn, using the evening raga Mohanam).

@Prackg @LuizSantosMusic I do not, do let me know if the Google search is effective.

For Miles~

two living chapters
return to the page. 🎹🎻

Herbie carries 88 keys.
Ron carries four strings.

Together,
they don't recreate history—

they let history
breathe again.

Played by Humans.
Carried by legends. 🎶
