Here's what goes on at the Ocean House. This is  new little friend who is listening to "When You Wish Upon a Star" and other sweet goodies along with her mom. What a Wonderful World !

A marvelously talented jazz photographer. Alessio Pizzicannella, captured the essence of the mood at happy JazzAscona in June 2017.

Joe Rosen and I go way back to the 1970s. He is the All-Time BEST Blues Photographer and it is always an honor and joy to have him in the house.

1984 at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel in Providence, Rhode Island, with Stevie Ray Vaughan and Keith Dunn, just before I took off for Europe. BLUES TIME !

"Crying the Blues" is an award-winning photo by the German jazz photographer Alexander F. Wensler, which took the prize in the German magazine Foto-Forum.

There is such a WILD blues audience in this Neaderthal-era cave which holds 3,000 people. This is pianoplunker's heaven. They got it ALL out of me there ! Photo by Uli Steinfeld.

You're a wonderful audience ! Balve, Germany, Tenth Anniversary festival. Photo by Uli Steinfeld.

This was from a jazz concert in Herrlisberg, Switzerland, in which the late, great Sil Austin was added to Al's trio. Thomas Durst is in the background of this late '80s shot.

This was a 50th birthday party of an old buddy of mine, up in Chestnut Hill, outside of Boston. Don't tell Steinway what I was up to please !!
