Yep. He said it. He wasn't kidding either. The Panorama Jazz band just returned home from a very exciting trip to Vera Cruz Mexico, where they played at the Segundo Annual Vera Cruz Festival de jazz (which I assume is pronounced "yazz"... like "yackie")
I did not attend the Vera Cruz gig but everyone agrees that it was super awesome. The guys were asked for autographs, taught a clinic, hung out with the Mahogany Brass Band, bought guyaveras, ate well, slept little, and totally rocked the casa. Sean had a million cool stories from hanging with the mahogany guys.
My better half even scoped out the potential of building a life as American X-pats in Mexico. It is always good to have a back up plan. We’ve got some numbers now and feel ready for the next revolution or hurricane (which ever comes first). Can we bring our dogs to Mexico?
I hope that Ama, Rogan, and I are able to attend the next Vera Cruz festival with the band. Even better, maybe we can sneak into Cuba afterwards.
It has been a little while since I have posted anything so, I will continue to add a slew of pictures that include events like both N.O. and V.C. jazz fests and the Algiers River Fest. Enjoy.
