Roberta Gambarini, Eric Jackson and Fred Taylor at Scullers

It was lovely to hear Roberta Gambarini sing at Scullers last night. Jake really liked her voice--said she reminded him of Rosemary Clooney. He traveled and recorded with her from 2006 to 2009. Her 2009 album, So in Love, was nominated for a Grammy.

Roberta holds the book I wrote and wears the
swirly scarf I knit her.
My hands sure do stay busy!

Eric Jackson broadcast live from Scullers
last night.  He was kind enough to write a
 "cover blurb"for the book

 Fred Taylor has been booking talent into

Boston clubs for  ... a long, long time!
