(Community Matters) hmm, unconvinced that WordPress is substantially better than Blogger.  Though, admittedly I’m much more use to Blogger so easier for me at this point.  It’s a pain to load images and they charge for things Blogger offers for free.  Supposedly easier to customize, though, I haven’t yet found that to be the case.

If you have any opinion of the new site, please let me know with some details if you have a minute.  You can email me by clicking on the avatar at the bottom of the column on the right (under the blog roll), then on my name.  Or, just to Eugene at ABPorter dot org.  Thanks

(Community Matters) Jazz at St. James – always a highlight of the year.  This year’s program (Fri – Sun) features Javon Jackson, Jeff Lofton Quartet and Joe Morales Sextet.  Tonight included the major sponsor dinner.  Keith Braithwaite once again chaired the event and has done a fantastic job.  Amy Bryant, Palo Chalupka, Rachel & Michael Feferman, Kip Keller & Luke Hayes joined us – Michael Barnes tried to and didn’t find the location (it’s not so easy – nearly 183 on MLK, then Webberville Rd)

Regrettably, we left before the Lavon Jackson Band played.  Steven just having flown in from Philly, he needed time to chill at home. We’ll see them tomorrow at the 10am services
