Ted Shafer's Jelly Roll Jazz Band will be playing each Friday, including Dec
16, 23 & 30, from 7 - 10 PM at Champa restaurant, 3550 San Pablo Dam Rd., El
Sobrante, CA. This is across the bay from San Francisco and a few miles
north.

I'll mention to Ted that you may be there, and see about the possibility of
your sitting in for a few tunes. Please let me know as soon as your dates in
the Bay Area are set in stone...
