[Dixielandjazz] Lena Seikaly

[Robert Ringwald]

A few years ago a youth band from WA DC performed at the STJS sponsored Traditional Jazz Youth Band Festival,.  The next day they performed at our Jazz Sunday concert.  They had a singer, 
Lena Seikaly, who knocked me out.  I couldn't believe this high-school girl was singing Jazz like a pro.  

The next Fall I booked her to be a guest star at our monthly Jazz Sunday concert.  She knocked everyone out.  

Here is an article about her from the Washington Post.  Evidently she is doing great!  

I think it might be about time to have her back.

Wireless Internet is like Sex.
You still want it,
