Ash Street Jail
New Bedford, MA
January 6th, 2016
America's oldest continuously working jail.
"The original New Bedford Jail was opened on Monday, October 5, 1829 with William Reed as the first jail keeper. The County Commissioners appropriated $13,236.30 for its construction. This facility was located on Court Street and is no longer used as a jail. This structure is currently used for Civil Processing. The building had been previously used as the home of the Sheriff and his family.
The County Commissioners soon recognized the need for additional facilities and authorized the construction of the New Bedford House of Correction Building on the east side of the original jail lot between Court and Union Streets.
The old Bristol County Jail on Court Street in Taunton was quickly becoming obsolete which led to the acquisition of new site on land belonging to the estate of William Hodges on the east side of the present Hodges Avenue. The new Hodges Avenue Jail was completed in 1873 at a cost of $160,000. This facility would get local acclaim as the temporary home for an accused axe murderer from Fall River named Lizzie Borden. The Fall River socialite was detained at the Taunton Jail for ten months while awaiting trial for the murder of her father, Andrew Borden in August of 1892.
The Hodges Avenue Jail in Taunton had served the citizens of Bristol County until 1923 when it closed its’ doors for the final time as a place to house prisoners. The building remained vacant for ten years until the David F. Adams Post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars rented the building for their meetings. The Veterans group used the building for many years. They finally purchased the building for $2,500 following the Second World War. It was dedicated as a permanent memorial to U.S. Veterans.
The County Commissioners recognized that the old Jail on Court Street in New Bedford had long outlived its usefulness by the mid 1880’s and began plans to replace the old stone jail. This effort led to the construction of the new 287 cell Ash Street Facility in 1888 at a cost of $80,000."

We made a short notice booking to Copenhagen, Jayne had the first week in September booked off and we wanted to try and do a city break. Five nights hardly seemed enough but the short flight was ok. We flew over home heading east on a beautiful morning. I love flying over an area that I know and being able to see it from above. We had been warned that Copenhagen was expensive-it was! I hadn’t done any research before we set off but on the flight over, I read that taxis were expensive, so it was best to use the Metro from the airport, it isn’t far in to the city and the Metro was fairly easy to use. However! We should have caught the train, I read this whist we were sat on the Metro it has to be said! The nearest Metro stop, which I was frantically trying to work out, using my phone, travelling in and out of tunnels, turned out to be a 1.5 mile walk from our hotel, the rail station was .5. Never mind we were there to walk-subject to my lately diagnosed arthritic ankle, we just didn’t want to be towing suitcases over cobbled pavements at the same time.
We were staying in the Tivoli Hotel which was described as central, it is near Central Station but you wouldn’t describe it as central to the city. Our room wasn’t ready but we could upgrade for a modest amount plus we realised it would be a good idea to include breakfast in the upgrade deal. A good move as it turned out. Our room overlooked the train lines-all twelve of them!! We could already hear train brakes squealing along with the thump thump of steel wheels rolling over points and joints. It’s true to say that Central Station is a 24/7 operation. The overnight noise didn’t bother Jayne but I could hear it all night.
We dumped our stuff and I loaded up with the backpack and camera and we were straight out there. Copenhagen is a relatively small city but there is a lot to see. We were soon finding out that it has an extensive network of canals and bridges and these are a major feature of life in the city. Pan flat, the cyclist rules, There appeared to be twice as many bikes as residents, with countless thousands propped up everywhere you went. Where ever you looked there was silent conveyor of sit up and beg cycles being ridden in all directions. You soon got used to looking over your shoulder before making a move. The vast majority of bikes are left unlocked and almost no one wears a helmet ( I’m a no helmet man, much to the annoyance of the helmet zealots). Copenhagen is reputedly the happiest place in the world and it certainly came across as friendly and relaxed. It is, though, one of the most expensive cities in the world and two burgers and two small glasses of wine at Nyhavn cost us £50. Comically, there were four people, local to us, shouting out Jayne’s name, they had seen us going past and we had a laugh about the prices, They were sat drinking beer at £8.50 a pint. Despite the expense, the place was packed with people parting with their money. Wages are very high locally, as are the taxes. The high wages and high costs must feed each other in an upward spiral I would have thought.
Unfortunately the cost of entering buildings to go up towers etc. for a higher view of the city was also very expensive (to us). The tower at Christiansborg Palace is free but restricted by the lift system and you don’t get to the top, it does also open later than the others so you have a chance of seeing sunset over the city. Unfortunately the lifts were out of order on one of our best weather days. We did get to go up the day after but it was dull and I wasn’t overly impressed. The spiral tower across in Christiana, The Church of Our Saviour, was far more impressive. We climbed the tower here just after it opened on a stunning morning and the views are fantastic. There will be incredible bottlenecks when it’s busy though on the corkscrew stairs that get progressively narrower towards the top. Some people hog it to take endless selfies at the top and it is extremely tight up there, you can’t move up until they come down.
As usual, we tried to get to some out of the way places, with only five days and mixed weather though we had enough mainstream destinations to see. We had a day of heavy rain so we went back to the rail station which was a good indoor (and free!) destination, and made umbrellas and the rain the focal point of that days photos. The entire Danish navy seemed to be at anchor, we just missed an open day on one ship. Some I could photograph, others were guarded and had restrictions, I got the evil eye from a couple of guards as the spotted the big Canon in my hand. I can’t imagine that they could police the Japanese and stop them from getting their photos and selfies though. I always act very openly with the camera and if people look at me suspiciously I smile and give them the thumbs up. In a rail station I usually ask the police. In Central Station the police were in their station and I never saw one move out, it is covered by extensive CCTV but there were some very unpleasant people, drinking and watching for people being careless with their belongings. We were lucky to be in the station on Sunday as a tourist steam train arrived, it sat at the platform belching smoke and steam for fifteen minutes, it was also coming back in an hour so we had an expensive coffee and waited to see it again. There was big military event outside the Christiansborg Palace on Monday, with a parade through the city that came past just as we were in a good spot to view it. The area was full of soldiers wearing their medals. We haven’t discovered the reason, although someone suggested a passing out parade for new recruits. Maybe the ships were in port for this as well.
Tivoli Gardens is another big draw and we went in, again it was fairly expensive, it had been a stunning day and the biggest problem was contrast, with deep shadows and a bright blue sky. We stayed until dark, it opens late and is very colourful. We went on the world’s highest carousel and got flung around 260 odd feet in the air. Luckily, we also found a bar that served wine at ‘only’ £5.60 a glass so we sat and watched people have fun screaming and shrieking above us.
There are many buildings with copper domes, entire copper roofs, even modern buildings are often clad in either brass or copper to blend in with the ancient buildings around them. Like every city we have visited, tower cranes are in abundance. There is a lot of development going on and unfortunately a lot of it is around buildings that you would want to photograph. We walked 12 to 14 mile every day and took in most of the sights. We didn’t really do any interiors, only towers and the railway station. At the time of writing I haven’t looked at what I’ve got, I have around 3000 shots, some on the G1X which I used when it was raining heavily as it easy to put in a pocket. I have a lot less time for editing these days so it will be a long process I think. To save time I am going to create a list of generic tags that I can copy and paste to each upload – the time saving is enormous – so apologies to anyone who gets a photo of a canal when they wanted a steam train or vice versa.

DJ AND PRODUCER
AGENT: LUCA CARGNELLI
EXCLUSIVE BOOKING PARTNERSHIP FOR ITALY
Avicii had only been producing a few months when his friends noticed that the productions were amazingly professional and that they had just witnessed a great talent being born. Avicii started out with doing a remix of the theme music for the Commodore 64 game 'Lazy Jones', but decided to drop it as it inspired him to make his own "Lazy Lace" released almost immediately on Strike Recordings.
Avicii was instantly fascinated with producing and spent many hours in his home studio creating one fresh tune after the next. Avicii never tried to get caught up in a specific subgenre of house, but wanted to keep the productions up to date and innovative. His music is inspired by the likes of Laidback Luke, Steve Angello and Tocadisco, but also Daft Punk, Eric Prydz and that of Axwell. In April 2008, Avicii released the first big track, "Manman", on Pete Tong's Bedroom Bedlam label after winning the Pete Tong Fast Trax. Avicii received an astonishing 70% of the votes and after the release and were contacted by numerous labels, promoters and booking agencies from all over the globe. Even Laidback Luke mentioned Avicii on his Myspace website saying: "Avicii", by winning this competition, left many contesters behind in their dust. So a big CONGRATULATIONS to these brilliant DJs for winning the contest and all the luck with their future careers!
What Avicii wants is to create music for people to listen to and come to love, whether it be at home or in a dark nightclub. Avicii puts great emphasis on melodies in his productions and wants to appeal to fans of many different house music genres. Avicii signed on to At Night Management in May 2008 and within a month the buzz around them spread noticeably and they were recognized on labels such as Joia Records, Vicious Grooves and Ministry of Sound, just to name a few. By the end of that month, Avicii had already signed a big deal with Vicious Grooves in Australia and were head on target to soon explode over the entire globe.
Avicii is currently appearing on selected international DJ gigs but otherwise locked up in the studio, always experimenting with new sounds in order to bring out original cool tracks and to grow as producers. More recently, the 19 year old producer has been VERY busy in the studio. With his first single (Sound of Now) and follow up EP (Muja/Record Breaker) off the shelf, remixes for D.O.N.S., Roger Sanchez, as well as Jose Nunez, Richard Grey & Erick Morillo and with upcoming mixes for Livin Joy, Phonat, Little Boots, Paul Thomas and Tim Berg – just to mention a few. Among more of his own releases, Avicii broke ground in 2009 with his third release and original track Ryu, which was charted two weeks before release on Pete Tong's Essential Mix. One week later it was "This Week's Essential New Tune" while at the same time the "track of the week" on Tiesto's Club Life (Episode 113). The track hit Beatport Top 20 in worldwide sales almost instantly and has been on Top 30 for over 4 weeks.
Avicii in 2009 means killer vocal collaborations combined with his own highenergy style productions bringing a new sound to the scene. Avicii truly is the Sound of Now.
Past big gig moments:
At WMC, Avicii played on Laidback Luke's "Superyou & Me" party (@ Club Louis) alongside Luke himself, A-Trak (Kanye West DJ), Bart B More, Chocolate Puma and The Party Squad among others, who were very impressed by the way this young DJ could read the crowd. At another WMC event, Avicii played together with Philgood alongside Stephan M, Norman Doray, Arno Cost, Denis The Menace, Big World, and more.
Current travels: Avicii is just back from Las Vegas where he was working with many different artists under Ultra Records.
Press coverage (France):
Avicii did a big interview where he was named "The Swedish Future" (as a replacement of Swedish House Mafia) in the May 2009 issue of French DJ magazine "Only For DJs". Industry support:
Still at the beginning of his career, Avicii has already been honoured in support by the likes Tiesto, Roger Sanchez, Pete Tong, Laidback Luke, Dirty South, Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, Eric Morillo, Joachim Garraud, Kaskade, Chris Lake and Greg Cerrone among many other heavy names in the industry.

HONDA CENTER CELEBRÓ SU 25 ° ANIVERSARIO EL 19 DE JUNIO DE 2018
Hace veinticinco años, el Ãcono de la música Barry Manilow subió al escenario en la gran inauguración de las instalaciones de primer nivel de Anaheim. Desde esa noche, el Honda Center ha albergado más de 4,000 eventos y más de 39 millones de invitados. Conmemorando su 25 aniversario, el Honda Center celebró con una gran variedad de eventos en el principal lugar de entretenimiento del Condado de Orange. Durante el último cuarto de siglo, Honda Center se ha ganado el estatus de clase mundial al hospedar a los principales nombres del entretenimiento. Las leyendas de la música que han tomado el escenario OC a lo largo de los años incluyen a The Rolling Stones, Madonna, Elton John, Barbra Streisand, U2, Janet Jackson y muchos más. Los fanáticos han visto crecer la carrera de los artistas frente a sus ojos. Beyonce actuó con Destiny's Child dos veces y como solista cuatro veces. Justin Timberlake actuó con Nsync en 1999 y 2002, y solo cuatro veces desde entonces. Twenty One Pilots abrió para Fall Out Boy en 2013, y pasó a encabezar shows consecutivos con entradas agotadas en 2017. El Honda Center ha organizado recorridos memorables que significaron momentos significativos para los fanáticos incluyendo: Van Morrison con Joni Mitchell y Bob Dylan compartiendo escenario en 1998, Gwen Stefani, originaria del Condado de Orange y No Doubt Tsunami Relief en 2005, la reunión de The Police en 2007, Roger Waters The Wall en 2010, el 40 aniversario de Neil Diamond en 2012, "History of the Eagles Tour" en 2014 fue la última producción con Glenn Frey antes de su fallecimiento, y Fleetwood Mac reunió a Christine McVie en 2014. En 2019, los fanáticos pueden ser parte de la historia de la música cuando Elton John traiga su gira Farewell Yellow Brick Road a Anaheim. En los últimos 25 años, los fanáticos han sido tratados no solo con lo mejor en música, sino también con increÃbles entretenimientos deportivos y familiares. En siete ocasiones distintas, la NCAA trajo March Madness al Condado de Orange, con la octava vez en 2019. El Honda Center ha organizado siete eventos de UFC, incluido el primero en California y el primer evento femenino, empatando la mayor cantidad de eventos de UFC fuera de Las Vegas, NV. Todos los años, las estrellas de Disney on Ice, Harlem Globetrotters, Professional Bull Riders, Stars on Ice y WWE deslumbran a las multitudes. En 2019, Honda Center recibirá a los mejores patinadores del mundo en el Campeonato de patinaje artÃstico ISU Four Continents. Los Anaheim Ducks celebrarán su 25 ° aniversario en la próxima temporada de hockey 2018-19. El Honda Center y los Anaheim Ducks son uno de los tres tándems Arena / NHL que celebran un aniversario conectado. En 2007, los Anaheim Ducks se convirtieron en el primer campeón de la Copa Stanley en la historia de California. Juntos, Anaheim Ducks y Honda Center atrajeron a miles de fanáticos a una celebración de 25 años juntos. El Honda Center continúa mejorando las instalaciones y las mejoras en todo el edificio, todo con el fin de crear una experiencia excelente para cada huésped visitante. Actualmente, el reemplazo del asiento del tazón del edificio está en marcha, y la primera fase se completará para este otoño. En los últimos 25 años, Henry y Susan Samueli, propietarios de Anaheim Arena Management, han invertido más de $ 100 millones de dólares en modernizaciones de las instalaciones de vanguardia, incluido el espacio de entretenimiento interior-exterior de 15,000 pies cuadrados llamado Shock Top Terrace. En otoño de 2017, la entrada sur del edificio se amplió para agregar 10,000 pies cuadrados de espacio de reunión y presenta cuatro nuevos conceptos de comida y bebida, incluido el primer bar en el edificio con 14 puntos de servicio que devuelve a los fanáticos a la acción más rápido. Veinticinco años después, Honda Center continúa demostrando ser el mejor lugar en el Condado de Orange para que los fanáticos experimenten lo mejor en música, deportes y entretenimiento familiar. "Honda Center puede estar cumpliendo 25 años, ¡pero la arena nunca se vio mejor!", Dijo Tim Ryan sobre las actualizaciones continuas al lugar. "Con todas las mejoras emocionantes de los fanáticos que hemos implementado, el edificio sigue sintiéndose actual. ¡Esperamos ofrecer muchos más momentos memorables en los próximos años! "

BOOKING PARTNERSHIP FOR ITALY
Sebastien Drums has confirmed his position fronting the new generation of electronic talent.
His mega hit 'My Feelings For You' produced with Avicii is a sample of the mighty Cassius original. Released during Miami WMC this year it quickly became a massive super hit. Number 1 on Beatport for a month, this track has been playlisted by some of the worlds biggest DJs; David Guetta, Bob Sinclar, Laidback Luke, Roger Sanchez, Robbie Riviera, whilst being repeatedly played by Pete Tong on Radio 1 and licensed to many heavyweight labels like Superstar (Germany), Vicious (Austria), Work Machine (France) Vendetta (Spain).
By the age of 11 Sebastien Drums had fallen in love with electronic music and was already heavily influenced by the French electronic wave - Daft Punk, Cassius, Bob Sinclar, Thomas Bangalter, Antoine Clamaran by the time he decided to start DJing.
From 2006 to 2008, Sebastien was resident at the Palas, a well known electronic club where he played along side Axwell, Steve Angello, Benny Benassi & Little Louie Vega. In that time Sebastien collaborated with Rolf Dyman on many remixes for Antoine Clamaran (Get Down), Alex Gaudino (Que Pasa Contigo), David Vendetta (Break For Love), Sandy Vee ( Be Together), Celeda (The Underground) and even Dj Ralph (Keep On). His remixes were played by the likes of Erick Morillo, Laidback Luke, Roger Sanchez (upfront track in his radio programme 'Release Yourself').
In September 2007 Sebastien decided to launch his own label 'Work Machine', a much respected house music label that signed artists and remixers such as Thomas Gold, Mischa Daniels, Afrojack, Roman Salzger, Tristan Garner & many more.
2009 was the year of success for Sebastien with notable releases such as 'Funky Beep' which had huge success during the 2009 Miami Winter Music Conference and received the support of Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, Laidback Luke, Chris lake, David Guetta, Arno Cost, Norman Doray & John Dalhback so much so that it became a huge Ibiza anthem during summer 2009.
It was March 2009 when Sebastien met Avicii and the two artists decided to collaborate. They have worked together on many projects such as, 'Big Colossus', 'Wet groove', 'Pastis', and 'Even', which was a great success immediately playlisted by the likes of David Guetta, Dirty South, Axwell, Mark Knight & Benny Benassi. 'Even' was subsequently charted TOP 10 by the Swedish House Mafia during summer 2009 and also in many charts on Beatport, compiled by CR2, whilst being playlisted on the radio show 'Fuck Me I'm Famous' and also Eddie Halliwell on Radio 1.
New for 2010, Sebastien's latest release, 'Tweet it' with Tim Berg and Norman Doray has just been signed to Size records (Steve Angello's label). This track has already received huge support from the Swedish House Mafia in their live sets, and is hugely popular among DJs around the world including Bob Sinclar, David Guetta, Laidback Luke, Dirty South and Roger Sanchez whilst already climbing the chart on Beatport.

We had a day of heavy rain so we went back to the rail station which was a good indoor (and free!) destination, and made umbrellas and the rain the focal point of that days photos. The entire Danish navy seemed to be at anchor, we just missed an open day on one ship. Some I could photograph, others were guarded and had restrictions, I got the evil eye from a couple of guards as the spotted the big Canon in my hand. I can’t imagine that they could police the Japanese and stop them from getting their photos and selfies though. I always act very openly with the camera and if people look at me suspiciously I smile and give them the thumbs up. In a rail station I usually ask the police. In Central Station the police were in their station and I never saw one move out, it is covered by extensive CCTV but there were some very unpleasant people, drinking and watching for people being careless with their belongings. We were lucky to be in the station on Sunday as a tourist steam train arrived, it sat at the platform belching smoke and steam for fifteen minutes, it was also coming back in an hour so we had an expensive coffee and waited to see it again. There was big military event outside the Christiansborg Palace on Monday, with a parade through the city that came past just as we were in a good spot to view it. The area was full of soldiers wearing their medals. We haven’t discovered the reason, although someone suggested a passing out parade for new recruits. Maybe the ships were in port for this as well.
Tivoli Gardens is another big draw and we went in, again it was fairly expensive, it had been a stunning day and the biggest problem was contrast, with deep shadows and a bright blue sky. We stayed until dark, it opens late and is very colourful. We went on the world’s highest carousel and got flung around 260 odd feet in the air. Luckily, we also found a bar that served wine at ‘only’ £5.60 a glass so we sat and watched people have fun screaming and shrieking above us.
There are many buildings with copper domes, entire copper roofs, even modern buildings are often clad in either brass or copper to blend in with the ancient buildings around them. Like every city we have visited, tower cranes are in abundance. There is a lot of development going on and unfortunately a lot of it is around buildings that you would want to photograph. We walked 12 to 14 mile every day and took in most of the sights. We didn’t really do any interiors, only towers and the railway station. At the time of writing I haven’t looked at what I’ve got, I have around 3000 shots, some on the G1X which I used when it was raining heavily as it easy to put in a pocket. I have a lot less time for editing these days so it will be a long process I think. To save time I am going to create a list of generic tags that I can copy and paste to each upload – the time saving is enormous – so apologies to anyone who gets a photo of a canal when they wanted a steam train or vice versa.
Ash Street Jail
New Bedford, MA
January 6th, 2016
America's oldest continuously working jail.
"The original New Bedford Jail was opened on Monday, October 5, 1829 with William Reed as the first jail keeper. The County Commissioners appropriated $13,236.30 for its construction. This facility was located on Court Street and is no longer used as a jail. This structure is currently used for Civil Processing. The building had been previously used as the home of the Sheriff and his family.
The County Commissioners soon recognized the need for additional facilities and authorized the construction of the New Bedford House of Correction Building on the east side of the original jail lot between Court and Union Streets.
The old Bristol County Jail on Court Street in Taunton was quickly becoming obsolete which led to the acquisition of new site on land belonging to the estate of William Hodges on the east side of the present Hodges Avenue. The new Hodges Avenue Jail was completed in 1873 at a cost of $160,000. This facility would get local acclaim as the temporary home for an accused axe murderer from Fall River named Lizzie Borden. The Fall River socialite was detained at the Taunton Jail for ten months while awaiting trial for the murder of her father, Andrew Borden in August of 1892.
The Hodges Avenue Jail in Taunton had served the citizens of Bristol County until 1923 when it closed its’ doors for the final time as a place to house prisoners. The building remained vacant for ten years until the David F. Adams Post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars rented the building for their meetings. The Veterans group used the building for many years. They finally purchased the building for $2,500 following the Second World War. It was dedicated as a permanent memorial to U.S. Veterans.
The County Commissioners recognized that the old Jail on Court Street in New Bedford had long outlived its usefulness by the mid 1880’s and began plans to replace the old stone jail. This effort led to the construction of the new 287 cell Ash Street Facility in 1888 at a cost of $80,000."

Biography
ABOUT THE NEW SWING SEXTET
A product of New York City and the excitement and turbulence of the sixties, the New Swing Sextet made its professional debut performing in the Singer Bowl at the last New York Worlds Fair in 1965... The band has been a popular and innovative exponent of Latin jazz, salsa and pop music for nearly four decades.
Composed of vocals, piano, vibes, bass and Latin percussion, the original New Swing broke up in the late seventies after successfully recording, touring and doing all the hot club dates that the New York metropolitan area had to offer. In recent years most of the groups core members have reunited and have been performing with Mambo Negro the highly popular Latin jazz ensemble, which performs regularly in and around the tri-state area. However, you can't buy or replace 40 years of history, and on special occasions the band performs as the New Swing. The New Swing offers an established and respected name with a sound from another era, which has been perfectly preserved and bottled for another generation to enjoy.
The band was part of a young crop (and new breed of aspiring Latin musicians) who grew up in the greater New York Metropolitan tri-state area with its rich ethnic mix and diverse inner-city culture, while at the same time growing up surrounded by the Latin music explosion happening in the region. The Palladium and other clubs were dancing to the music of Machito and his Afro-Cubans, and the Jose Curbelo Orchestra while Tito Puente, Tito Rodriguez, Eddie Palmieri, Joe Cuba, and Cal Tjader, among many others, had already established their unmistakable sounds. In the early sixties, every other city block in New York had a Latin band and a doo-wop group. Blend these many elements together and you get the influences that shaped the New Swing Sextet and their contemporaries, including Johnny Colon; the Lebron Brothers; Willie Colon, Joe Bataan and Pete Rodriguez groups that helped pioneer a new street sound (which would eventually become Latin Boogaloo and Salsa). The New Swing Sextet would join the Alpha Artists of America (under the Management of Jose Curbelo) and ultimately record 4 long albums (and have a separate Best of the New Swing Sextet) all under the Cotique label. The band regularly performed on popular TV shows such as El Club de la Juventud con Polito Vega; The Tito Puente Show with host Sofi; and El Show de Myrta Silva among others. It was a magical time to be a performing Latin artist in New York City. A fraternity of great musicians and legends in the making, routinely performing together at the great dance clubs of the day, including: The Corso; LaMaganette; The Chez Jose; La Mancha; The Colgate Gardens; The Psycho Room; The Tropicoro; The Cheetah and at all the great battle of the band venues such as The Hunts Point Palace; The Manhattan Center; The Riverside Plaza Hotel and The St. Georges Hotel. Over a ten-year period the New Swing performed all summer-long at popular resorts and at the summer home of Latin music: las Villas. The band has also toured extensively and performed at world famous venues such as the legendary Apollo Theatre; the South Street Seaport and Webster Hall in New York City. Recent performances to large audiences in Montreal, San Francisco, & Los Angeles, proved that the band still has plenty of sabrosura to keep the dancers on the floor.
