[Dixielandjazz] Lena Seikaly

[Robert Ringwald]

A few years ago a youth band from WA DC performed at the STJS (Sacramento Traditional Jazz Society) sponsored TJYBF (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 the STJS 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,
even if it's unprotected and in a public place.
