For a sec I thought that was an upcoming 2015 list, and I thought, cool Sonny Rollins' health has improved and he's gonna play this summer. Oh well. Feel better Sonny.

I am sure there's plenty to do in 2015. I want the Dig Deeper old-school soul promoters in Brooklyn to bring shows down to my neck of the woods in DC, plus some of those Summerstage international gigs
