I sometimes wonder…
After a brief but decisive Committee meeting, the Captain, Doug Haircut Kuhn and meself retired to the Cumberland Hotel for a cooling draught and a damn fine Jam session. These sessions are starting to grow again, and Ade Ish, Bill Woodfull, Kirsten Boerema, John Adolfus, Geoff Sayers, Barry Gray and a bunch of other musos entertained a goodly crowd.
The Castlemaine sessions are turning out quite different to the Leinster Arms bash – less musos, bigger audience, more of an emphasis on performance rather than joining in. It is pleasing to see them growing again after a few quietish months. Excitement and involvement is building towards the June 5 – 7th Castlemaine Jazz Festival.
