Actually, I should not be so dissapointed. At least I got to see Bill do some amazing things.

Once, he slid back on his chair, and unfortunately fell off the bandstand. His head hit something pretty hard. There was a collective scream from everyone there. However, Uncle Bill was unhurt. He went ahead and finished the set. On the last song, he yanked his Uke behind his neck and started playing upside down. Amazing guy.

Anyway, I was talking to Palika, and he told me this concert should be very fun. he also told me that the guy playing with Bill is one of the more talented jazz guitarists around.
