• Clarence & I rocked the house for Junior Achievement.
• It's all about the music.
• It's for the kids!

Qwest Event Center
It's huge. Clarence & I played at the entrance as everyone arrived at the event. I saw a lot of faces of appreciation, and we appreciated all of the extremely warm, friendly, complimentary comments. It's wonderful to share music.

We also played later in the evening at the Jazz "Stage" sponsored by Lynnwood Honda, and next to the Lexus booth. The acoustics were awesome in the Qwest Event Center and we loved filling the room with beautiful music. It's seriously such an honor to play music with such a talented musician. Clarence is simply the best saxophone player I know.


Ace

Clarence and I were setting up and getting ready to play and we met Ace Young at the VIP room. Ace was very nice and seemed exactly the same as he was on American Idol. I'll let you make your own decision on whether that is good or not, but he did appear to be a genuinely nice person. 

We mainly talked about music and family. I joked about not knowing who he was (ok, I admit I watched American Idol, but I claim it was only to keep in touch with my daughters!). A couple of cool points: He told us that his grandfather is 86 and still occasionally plays the saxophone while his grandmother plays the piano. He said he'd meet up with us later and sign autographs for my daughters if I wanted, but I didn't take him up on his offer. Sorry Crystal & Jacqueline! He was excited to meet us, of course , and couldn't wait to hear us play.

He stopped by later to check us out and seemed genuinely impressed and gave us a big smile and thumbs up. Clarence and his wife Trudy and I watched part of Ace's show, and let's just say I appreciate real musicians (he sang karaoke-style along with a pre-recorded CD).  But hey - I can't sing well enough to win a high school talent show, let alone win the votes of 40 million TV viewers.  He put on a great show and had a great time dancing with a fan.  And Clarence & I didn't have a stage surround by booth babes either, which is the goal of a real musician, by the way.
