                <div>Due to work overload I neglected to mention those
                  two events.  Better late then never.<br>
                </div>
                On 29 March, some friends and I went to hear the British
                guitar <span tabindex="-1" id=":1of.1" style=""
                  class="">wiz</span> Martin Taylor at the <span
                  tabindex="-1" id=":1of.2" style="" class="">Givatayim</span>
                Theatre (<span tabindex="-1" id=":1of.3" style=""
                  class="">Givatayim</span> is a town adjacent to Tel-<span
                  tabindex="-1" id=":1of.4" style="" class="">Aviv</span>). 
                Martin Taylor certainly is one of the best guitarists in
                the world today, and has been for a great many years, in
                the class of Howard Alden, Bucky <span tabindex="-1"
                  id=":1of.5" style="" class="">Pizzarelli</span>, Frank
                <span tabindex="-1" id=":1of.7" style="" class="">Vignola</span>
                - you name them.<br>
              </div>
              As expected by those of us who knew him and heard him upon
              his previous visit here 25 years ago (of whom I was one),
              he gave an outstanding performance, first solo - a mix of
              his own compositions and standards, then with that
              wonderful Israeli group Swing <span tabindex="-1"
                id=":1of.8" style="" class="">de</span> <span
                tabindex="-1" id=":1of.9" style="" class="">Gitanes</span>.<br>
            </div>
            The concert started with the Israeli group performing two
            originals, than Martin Taylor took the stage and kept the
            audience spellbound.  For the second part he was joined by
            Swing <span tabindex="-1" id=":1of.11" style="" class="">de</span>
            <span tabindex="-1" id=":1of.12" style="" class="">Gitanes</span>,
            and together they performed some of the Quintet of the Hot
            Club <span tabindex="-1" id=":1of.13" style="" class="">de</span>
            France standards, to a tumultuous - well deserved ovation.<br>
            <br>
            <br>
            <br>
          </div>
          Two days later, I joined some friends for a <span
            tabindex="-1" id=":1of.15" style="" class="">SdG</span>
          performance with the trumpeter Eli Preminger in Tel-<span
            tabindex="-1" id=":1of.16" style="" class="">Mond</span>, a
          town not far from Tel-<span tabindex="-1" id=":1of.17"
            style="" class="">Aviv</span> (less than half an hour drive
          from where I live).  The show, mainly standards, was the last
          in a series <span tabindex="-1" id=":1of.19" style=""
            class="">organized</span> by the <span tabindex="-1"
            id=":1of.20" style="" class="">SdG</span> bassist Oren <span
            tabindex="-1" id=":1of.21" style="" class="">Sagy</span>. 
          We enjoyed it a lot!<br>
