Last night was a wonderful concert by Jazzou at the beautiful church of St. Rose of Lima. He did several of his religious tunes and then after a quick costume change started his evening of ragtime. Phyllis performed an emotional rendition of "The Ohio". There were over 200 people in attendance and no one left without a smile on their face and a song in their heart. It truly was an event not to be missed.

A huge thank you to everyone who came and made it a great evening! Actually, a great two evenings! Captain Alan Bernstein sure offered up a fine time on the Belle of Cincinnati, and we got to do a special salute to Virginia Bennett right in front of the Harbor House and Virginia Bennett Light.
It was a privilege to be with so many old friends and river acquaintances both at the concert and on the cruise. After all these years of passing by the beautiful St. Rose Church, I finally got to play inside. It was a particular pleasure to visit the museum inside the church and see especially the pictures depicting the ravaging effects of the 1937 flood.
For those who were there, thanks for the great memories. For those who couldn't be there, I'll hope to see you the next time. I'm back home in Maine now treasuring the unforgettable music and river experience.
