I experienced the same hospitality from both Matt and Denise when my wife (Anita) and I met them several years ago on our vacation trip to the Hyde Park NY area.
And, Pat, I thoroughly enjoyed our visit when you came through Pensacola on your "forum" tour through the south. Your comments above are spot-on.
Likewise John! FWIW, I thought of you and Anita often while we were in Lake George. Our paths will cross again.

Pat, thanks for posting links to Denise's songs. They are relevant here, in the sense that I play on many of the songs and when I do, I did the arrangement in BIAB before heading to the studio. You will hear me rarely on trumpet/flugelhorn/cornet, but more often on flute, alto flute, soprano sax or vibes - whatever helped a little to make Denise's music sound even better.

I should add that Carol did the recordings of Matt's concert. She graciously held my small digital recorder and recorded the concert. For that I thanked her very much.

Here are a few pictures of our trip: https://www.dropbox.com/home/Public/Lake%20GeorgeIf you can't see them let me know. I have CRS and I forgot how to add pictures to a message. If people can't see them on dropbox them I hope someone will remind me how to add them to a message.

Mario,
linking to the folder "dropbox.com/home..." tries to open my own HOME directory. It might be easier (for us) if you posted links to individual files.
To do that, right click on a file in your dropbox folder, and a floating menu should appear. From that menu, pick :
DROPBOX > COPY DROPBOX LINK
That should be the same as copying the URL of the file. Then paste the link directly into a message, and people should be able to open the files even if they don't have a dropbox account.

Thank you Pat and Mario. Everything I have read about the events is just so absolutely impressive.
I am really looking forward to any photos and videos.
It must have been a wonderful experience.

I know Australia is huge... it's hard to wrap my brain around the distances between BIAB forum members who live there. Is there any chance of a BIAB get-together between forum members in Oz? If so keep us posted... you never know who might travel to be part of it! That would be great, Pat. As you mentioned, the tyranny of distance is against many of us. I think we need a good reason to get together, like "Pat Marr's coming to Oz .... let's all go meet him" 
Cheers,
Keith

Maybe one named "BIAB OZ Get Together 2019". It would be interesting to see if the idea builds any momentum...

Thanks Mario (and Eddie). The picture of the three of us (Eddie's link) was taken by my wife, Denise on our dock.

Since Matt and his wife Denise are local celebrities, the stores around Lake George NY carry their CDs. I bought Matt's and have been listening to it in my car. Man, that's my idea of good music! I've heard Matt on Pandora before, but Pandora has the annoying trait of playing one or two songs you asked for, then branching to other peoples' music. Playing Matt's CD, one song after another has been fun. Not only does it reinforce what most of us already know (BIAB is great software for writing songs) but it also makes me more aware of the man's raw talent. Here is a link to his web page: http://www.mattfinley.com/Likewise, Matt's wife Denise also has a web presence. All of her songs are available for listening or buying, and both web sites are well worth visiting! www.denisejordanfinley.com/This is more comprehensive than the link I posted previously to her Youtube channel, which does not represent her full body of work. Sorry if all this posting about the Finleys makes me look like a fan, but I know the members of this forum have an investment in one another, and an appreciation for good music. It never hurts to acknowledge and respect the music work of a good friend... especially when it's this good!

I am a big fan of Matt's music and in fact I bought his CD a while back and posted how good it was. I have yet to listen to Denise's albums that I bought but I have heard a song or two of hers and they are very good.

Here's a nice picture of the band's front line as published in the regional newspaper, the Lake George Mirror. I'm attempting a Dropbox link. If that doesn't work, I'll just stick it on my website. Caution, it's a large file, 16 MB. https://www.dropbox.com/s/wmrzuwctzjvtcth/Rio%20JAZZ%20Bolton%202017.jpg?dl=0

Here is the first of several videos I'll be posting. This song is called LAST DAY OF SUMMER, and it was written by Matt Finley using Band In A Box software, so I think it deserves a spot here on this forum: https://www.dropbox.com/s/iv44yw1mbpfd6av/LastDayOfSummer.mp4?dl=0As noted previously, the band does not practice before this performance! They have a pre-concert meeting in which Matt goes over hand signals etc, and the rest is a combination of improvisation and chart reading! (charts prepared by Matt of course!) During Matt Finley's concert in Lake George, it was my goal to record everything, then post links for anybody who wanted to hear Matt's music, but who wasn't able to attend. Unfortunately, I had some technical difficulties. My camera battery ran out, so I missed parts of a couple of songs. Also, all the swivel joints on my camera tripod were really sticky, so transitions were very jerky instead of being smooth. I used software to stabilize the footage to whatever extent is possible, but I'm going to apologize in advance for the poor quality of the video. Parts of the following video were so chaotic that I just replaced the footage with still shots. The good news is that the main event is the music, not the video, and I thought that the sound came out reasonably well considering the fact that it was just whatever my camera's cheap built-in mic picked up. More video to come, as time allows!
