Off but related subject: Chris Botti. Saw him with that fabulous band of his last night at the Long Beach Art Museum, an outdoor venue right in front of the beach; another great performance. This time I dragged my husband with me, somewhat begrudgingly, and he ended up absolutely loving it! Chris announced last night that he finished his new CD that day, called something about A Thousand Kisses (I have a bad memory...or was it the wine?), due out in September. He played for two and a half hours, was very warm and friendly with the crowd, and announced with joy that they got to play a bunch of songs they hadn't performed in a while. His drummer once again kicked arse (she's truly amazing), as did the entire band. I am not normally a "smooth jazz" fan, but that boy (I can call him that as I am two months older) can really play. If you haven't seen him yet, catch him if you can, and bring someone you love! Peace, Love, & Sting, Jen "all made up and nowhere to go"
