Hi Folks,

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of riding a train from St.
Louis to Kansas City and back with OKOM the whole way. Bob Ceccarini,
Scott Alberici, Pat Joyce and Kevin Gianino played 3 one-hour sets each
way. We left Kirkwood at 9 AM and returned at 9 PM, with a 2-hour
layover in KC. It was great! We had a reserved car on a regular Amtrak
run.

Does anyone know if this happens anywhere else in the country? (Or the
world?) The organizer said he was told it was the only one of its kind.

You can see a video of one of the songs (sorry but the audio skips in a
couple of spots - that's NOT Bob's playing) at this link:

Cheers,
Beth (St. Louis)
