Jazz and a party

Dale and I went to hear a 23-year-old jazz piano protege named Eldar tonight, at WSU. Great concert, including a mesmerizing rendition of Rhapsody in Blue.  The event was a fund-raiser for the Wichita Jazz Festival next spring, which Dale is trying to help organize.

Later we went to a reception for Eldar at the home of Ann Garvey and ran into an old friend, Anita Moore, a realtor who sold us our house.

Ann Garvey with a guest who is being entertained by Ann's conure, a type of parrot that was so beautiful and fun it made me wish I had one.
