so many, you wonder what the assigner was thinking. I know they
{assigners} have tough jobs. they have to try and please everyone
registered. Sometimes that is a problem. One reason I belong to
several associations. I am semi retired. Work for a house
contractor when I have nothing else and I honestly don't just mean
calling softball. I have three granddaughters I love to entertain.
In other words, spoil em rotten, then send em home.
Thanks for the reply and the URL listing.

BTW, have you even been to the Newport Jazz Festival? I did when
I was stationed near there. Had a great time.

That's right, I forgot to tell you about my granddaughter!
No, I prefer the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. And I always make it a point to see my favorite artist, presently out of Austin, Texas, Marcia Ball.
