The Trent Austin Quintet -- LIVE -- Plays Freddie Hubbard


Last Friday night, we had quite a jazzy night. Shane's step-brother is the amazing trumpter, Trent Austin. He had a live show that was broadcast on Maine Public Radio, which we listened to via the computer. Trent took his quintet (tenor saxophone, guitar, bass and drums) to the Bangor, Maine, studio for a live tribute to the late, great Freddie Hubbard. Between songs, Trent was interviewed by the show's host. It was pretty cool. If you like good music, you'll love this. You can listen to the recording of the broadcast here (look for the March 27, 2009 link).

The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #187 -- Any Ideas?

?????

This is the New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest cartoon for this week. Click on the link above to enter. I haven't thought of a caption for this one yet. Everything I have thought of so far involves the angel not wearing underwear, and I'm not sure that is the best way to go. Let me know if you come up with any captions and if its good, maybe I'll steal it. I wouldn't do that, really.
