Love me some Jazz music • Cal Collins - Blues on my Mid

Palm Court Lounge & Orchids Restaurant. Netherland Hilton • Cincinnati

I used to see Cal Collins play in Cincinnati, back in the day.  He sure was something else.  My magic shop, The Carew Tower Magic Shop, was off the Netherland Hilton lobby on the second level of the Care Tower Arcade.  It was a short walk over to the Palm Court Lounge were Cal would be playing with his trio.  Back in the day where you could enjoy a cigar at the bar, have a cocktail and listen to some great music in a beautiful deco hotel lounge.  Memories. . .

I proposed to my first wife Cricket where this photo was taken over 3 decades ago.  Seems like a million years ago.
