Great drum solo final number at the end of the piece. Good finale for New Bop Big Band. FeeBee told Bud he should smile more. Bud, who already emotes with pretty good style when he plays, had grandpa chuckling when he tried to smile more as his Mom had suggested.

Bud, and the entire New Bop Big Band, performed well.

Bishop and FeeBee very grateful to Fish, Books (1st cousin of Bishop and 2nd child of Aunt Joyce) and Byte (Books hubby) for attending the Chapman concerts.

Steve,

I was bemused, to use a polite term, to see a Tesla plugged in for free electricity at an indoor mall in Cambridge last week. I would have thought those who can afford a car for $65M plus could afford their own fuel. But then, as someone once observed, "the more they make, the more they take."
