12. Pat Metheny Gave My Wife & I Free Tickets to the 2019 Jazz Fest at the Kennedy Center Performance

Yesterday

I will always count myself as blessed for a few things, that was one. Pat sets aside tickets for military, so we had a chance to go. We were so proud, thrilled to be there. It was a superb show. Lots of community spirit and pride. Yes, he played 'This is Not America,' which I can't help but hear playing in my head these days.

I remember seeing both 'Blues at the White House' and the jazz show while President Obama was in office, on PBS. Never forget what our standard is - we will see it again.
