Thanks to a bit of detective work & the brilliant

Thanks to a bit of detective work & the brilliant Shelly at the Old Courthouse Museum, I was able to locate & visit the church in Sioux Falls (SD) where my parents eloped 56 years ago. Built in 1961 & designed by the architectural firm of Hugell, Blatherwick, Fritzel, & Kroeger, the building is now home to the Main Stage Ballet & Dance Academy. Though the building was closed Saturday morning, I was able to peer inside & see what used to be the sanctuary - the room where my parents’ 40-year partnership began. ❤️

Fun fact: I’ll be performing the entire Sketches

Fun fact: I’ll be performing the entire Sketches Of Spain suite w/ the @gilevansproject Friday on my Hardanger D’Amore, the 10-string Norwegian folk fiddle #salvehakedal made for me 8 years ago. The larger body & sympathetic strings produce a depth in tone that so reminds me of Miles Davis’ iconic sound. Below is a photo of my violin & Hardanger D’A side by side. Tomorrow night at @birdlandjazz, 8:30/10:30pm sets #hardangerdamore #milesdavis #gilevans #sketchesofspain

Rehearsing Sketches of Spain w/ the @gilevansproje
