I, along with my daughter Molly, was also on the stage behind the band.  But 
the sound from that location was so bad.  All we could hear was the rhythm 
section with the horns bouncing off of the back wall.

 After the intermission, Jim Cullum took us to his box where we saw the rest 
of the concert from out front.

What an experience!

Since the time I was 15 years old & first saw the film The Benny Goodman 
Story, & bought the Carnegie Hall LPs, I had wished that I could have been 
there that night.

When Jim Cullum & Juanita Greenwood put the Turk concert together, I said, 
"There is no way I am going to miss this one."
