Hello Brian. When are the road trips scheduled, and will you be coming to Detroit anytime in the future? If you do come to the Detroit area, Michigan, or in the Midwestern region I would truly like to come.
Sincerely,
Keith Gamble, Saxophonist

Hi Keith,
Nice to meet you. I am just putting in my vote for a Detroit road trip too. Would love to meet Brian and some of the other great artists and writers in here.

Hey Letha Allen, and thanks for responding to my message board regarding a Detroit road trip. If you are free on Thursday, April 16, I will be playing saxophone at Bakers Keyboard Lounge in Detroit with Continuum Jazz Ensemble. Stop by and say hello. And let`s keep our fingers crossed for a Detroit road trip.
Sincerely,
Keith Gamble, Saxophonist

Hi Gang,
I had originally planned to spend 2010 visiting all 50 US States. But in Jan I suffered a massive stroke and again in March and April. So even though I am still kicking, I may have to take some time off the road and recover. I do have a new set of projects I am working on that you guys might be able to help with. If you're interested, let me know via my post asking for volunteers.
Thanks,
Brian

I was just visiting and realized how much time has gone by since we last did a Roadtrip tour. We have toured Europe in 2007, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2016 but we haven't done a full blown US tour in 15 years. I wonder if we could find enough venues and active live artists to do another sweep through all the States (plus Alaska and North Dakota, the only two we never had a showcase).

Peace,
Dave I see him on Facebook but he never was on the message board much. Ask him. I am thinking maybe in the Spring about doing a little tour just to see if we could still pull something off. I used to be able to just pick 40 cities, put the note out there, then people would start signing up, even before we had a venue, then we'd find one, and more would sign up and we'd have 200 people and 40 artists in nearly any city we visited. The trick is finding some young people willing to do it. At this point most of our core members are 40-70. Might be nice just to see folks again, but would be nicer to bring in some younger folks too.
