This was a first for us...John White (or as we liked to call him...Juan Blanco!) sat down and played us some tunes while we were at Omar O'Rourke's for lunch. John said he had been taking lessons for only about a year. He’s going to have to make a comment to this blog to let me know what he played. Sorry, John...I can't remember. I just know everyone was amazed to think you had only been playing for a year. It was awesome.

Then Jerry Patterson and John played a duet together and played a toe-tapping tune that really got the joint jumping!

Omar's house is a popular place with our participants. Before we got there, I told everyone that Pedro, Omar's bartender, makes the best margaritas I've ever had. I made believers out of all of them! It was, as always, a great afternoon.
