Musicians

I live in Newport, OR, population about 10,000. We have a little jazz festival every fall and he was a guest performer.

Most of the attendees are really there to socialize with each other. I got to sit right in front of him, pretty much the only person listening intently while he played solo for about an hour in the reception area. I'm an amateur guitarist.

I found him mesmerizing. And also very shy and humble. I will cherish that memory knowing he is gone.

Thanks for checking him out.
