While list mates were enjoying OKOM at the recent Sacramento Jazz Fest 
Lance Buller and Stephanie Porter of "Lance Buller and the Monarchs" 
fame were performing in Victoria BC at Hermann's Jazz Club with the Tom 
Vickery Trio. Lance freely admits that his heroes are the 3 Louie's and 
anyone who has seen his act knows that they do a lot of tunes from Louis 
Armstrong, Louis Prima and Louis Jordan. They were working under a 
different format here and had more vocals than usual which made it a 
really entertaining night.

They did their novelty number where Stephanie sings in the style of 
Carol Channing and Lance as Liberace. You had to be there!

My main point in writing is that Stephanie Porter has a relatively new 
solo CD, Mood Swings which is recorded with a different group. I think 
it is a great CD and showcases her warm wonderful voice and style near 
perfectly.

If you want to give yourself a treat check out the above web site and 
listen to the sound bites on every tune and then let the list know  what 
you think. Yeah or nay. C'mon lurkers your opinion counts as much as any 
of the regulars.

I have no interest of any kind in this CD other than the fact that I 
think it is really good and without the backing of "big money" I think 
word of mouth is very important to its success.
