June 21st is/was "La Fete De La Musique" in France(and in many countries in Europe. This means " celebration of music day." I put together a 45 minute presentation at LA CIGALLE, a really nice, old hall in Paris' 18th district. I started as a "one man band", playing the ROLAND TD-8 electronic drum system,, and the Handsonic(HPD-15), performing some songs from the Snyders Market CD using the VS-1680(16 track digital recorder) for my "backing band."

Then I moved to the piano, and my good friend, (and great musician!) Jean Michel Kajdan joined me on guitar. We performed Kuwata Keisuke's "Just A Little Bit" ( one of Jean Michel's favorite songs from my various CD's) and a new song, "Colors Of The Blues. "
