Why post this in a guitar forum?
For my birthday (which is actually next Saturday), my girlfriend took me to a concert; Old Town School Jazz Guitar Night. Featuring Paulinho Garcia, Tony do Rosario and Mike Allemana. Old Town school (Link ) is a non-for-profit school that is sort of like coop in a way where it is a support for the musical art including all kinds of different guitar and instruction. Each year, three of the instructors put together a jazz guitar night.
It was phenomenal. Just some spectacular playing. Very tasty. Two artists were standard jazz ranging from mid-century cool jazz to some stuff that was a little more rippin'. However, there was a brazilian instructor that played the most fabulous nylon stringed Brazilian standard. In was just unbelievable.
Here's the sites of the performers:

...and all three together during a previous jazz night with an additional performer, Alfonso Ponticelli.
....oh yeah...I also got engaged this weekend.
How can ya not marry a girl that not only takes you on a jazz night but actually digs it too!
Most may not remember that I singed up here under the nick of PamJeff. I originally came to GT in 2008 because my wife was starting to learn guitar. Confused? Wife? Now engaged? Yes; reality is, my wife passed away in November of 2008.
Through all the time you long timers have known JeffS, I've been through everything you can imagine. It was always nice to come here to allow myself the distraction...and make fun of Rick once in a while...hehe.
...and now I can say that my story becomes a happy one.
Cheers and check out some of the links.
