Just a reminder that the opening ceremony will start at 12:00 Noon, June 23, that is, tomorrow, with Jim Galloway and his band. I am a big fan of Jim Galloway,who has been the artistic director of this festival for years.

His ex-wife was playing the bass. They got divorced several years ago, while the ex still carried his famous last name, that is, Galloway. I am just amazed that divorced couples don't necessarily turn enemies,and Jim sets a perfect example. They are still performing together like best and loyal friends, even though they fail to be husband and wife.

Back from the opening ceremony. Just so overwhelmed with the everlasting enthusiasm of audience. For sure, the dearest gentleman is Jim Galloway. Time is flying fast, while Jim like stays same as forever. :)Not older or younger, just exactly the same as I saw him several years ago.
He spoke little, but kept shaking himself in harmony with the melody. I always could not help bursting into smiles at the way he conducted himself in front of us: kind of naughty old gentleman with little words yet profound sense of humour.
His band has been on the stage since 1978, and he has been the artistic director of this festival for almost 20 years.

I just came back from the evening session with Molly Johnson. She is awlsome, a classic female vocal. The audience gave her two standing ovation.I can't make it to the Jim Galloway concert - have to work at that time. I believe it must have been fatastic.
Is there any other program you would recommend?

I actually recommend all those programs in this festival, if you have time and energy. :) Have you got the program brochure and calendar? I got both, and you can find all details there.

I am always touched by Torontonian Jazz audience, who are so extremely well-disciplined and appreciative that you just cannot stop feeling proud of them.
