This afternoon, walked to St. Mark’s Cathedral for an organ recital: guest organist from UK played the rebuilt organ.

Dakota Jazz Club dinner and the always evolving style of Kurt Elling. Great voice, American songbook and beyond.

Tonight, at the Guthrie Theater: “Born Yesterday”–corruption in Washington, written 1945, and as fresh as ever.
