I was asked last evening what was my favorite event of 2015.
Last year, I had the opportunity to see quite a few of our clients perform – lots of special moments that could be considered favorites, as you can see if you scroll down the blog history of these pages.
Picking only one is not fair, but alas, life is not fair.
So as I open the envelope of my memory containing the decision, I see that getting to meet legendary drummer, Ginger Baker in New York City is the winner.

Jackie and I had the opportunity to be in NYC and see our client, legendary drummer Ginger Baker perform. The show is called Ginger Baker’s Jazz Confusion. The lineup includes Pee Wee Ellis on sax, bassist Alec Dankworth and percussionist Abass Dodoo. The house was standing room only and the crowd left thrilled. Prior to the show, Ginger and I almost talked about taxes. You can see how excited he was. He said something to the effect that I was a “sure cure for insomnia.”

Here are a couple of photos of Ginger performing that night:
