As 2025 winds down, I find that I have only two concerts in Dec. That’s by design as we tend to want to take the month off for family, rest and relaxation, and enjoying the festive season. This year has been full of very nice concerts, in very nice venues. Highlights include the charity event at the Hilton Bellevue for the Sophia Way.

Highlights include the very noble cause, helping homeless women, the lovely venue, and even being fed. Now that was a nice touch.

There were some nice summer time performances too with a number of bands:

We started the year at the Rainier Club in Seattle for a swanky dance. We even had a green room, which is getting rarer to find now-a-daze. And I love it when I can pay such a big group of musicians (big band numbers) a decent wage.

So all in all, a very nice year and I didn’t even share half of the performances with other bands that Suzy and I sit in with. Here’s to an even more busy year in 2025.
