 Wendell was the featured guest star of the Sacramento Traditional Jazz 
Society a couple of years ago.  hmmm, maybe longer than that.  It was before 
Katrina.

I missed the concert as was playing a gig out of town.  He blew everyone 
away.  One of the best guest stars we have had.  Been trying to get him back 
ever since but tough because he is living in Sweden.
