We lost a great guitarist and great friend of mine a few weeks back to cancer. His music touched me and all the musicians that gigged with him. Same with his huge fan base.

On Sunday 8/15/21 our “home base” Laportas (1600 Duke Street, Alexandria, VA) starting at 1:00 PM many of his colleagues will get together to play music and reminisce. The talent pool will be deep and varied.

It is open to the public. Come on out. It promises to be an amazing event.
