Bridges opened the evening concert. Your humble webmaster, Danl Blackwood, was a busy guy that evening ... producing the concert, playing with Bridges, and then the Scatcatz. Ellie Arilyn joins Bridges for a couple tunes. The Scatcatz took the stage about 10pm to a full house. it was absolutely awesome for us to play Catz music again.

Kevin was a regular extra player with the Scatband and the Scatcatz "back in the old days." After almost two hours of Scatcatz, we had some guest artists come up. Here Greg Wright on guitar and vocals, kicks it on some blues. Relatively new to the Topeka music scene, Kozette shares her awesome vocals. Kenny Smith (left) from Bridges sings "Moon Dance," with Tom Hewitt on trumpet.
