Sunset in Rancho Mirage, CA, photo by Carol Ray November saw Nick and the band in beautiful Rancho Mirage, CA, for the Art Affaire and Jazz Festival. Coming from Chicago the weather was especially welcome! Thanks to Diana and her crew for everything. The following weekend was the Steppers' Set to Benefit the Homeless in Matteson, IL. Nick thanks his old friend Margie and Pastor Mike for the opportunity to help those who find Lower Wacker Drive home in the harsh Chicago winter. Nick and the band's last gig together in November was in Adelphi, MD, at the 4Th Annual Smooth Jazz Wine and Sip & Silent Auction to support Prince George's County Hospital Sexual Assault Center and the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity's Bowie/Mitchellville Alumni Chapter's Guide Right Program. Thanks go to Emmett Roberts for a wonderful event. The next week found Nick in L.A. for rehearsals with Brian Culbertson's "A Soulful Christmas" tour with Gerald Albright and Howard Hewett. The tour kicked off in Indianapolis right after Thanksgiving, with stops after that in Chicago, New York, Alexandria VA and Toronto (with lots of places still to go...see article below). November ended on a very cool note!!!
