Fairport Canal Days 2023 coming next weekend

Fcd_logo_2023Fairport's Canal Days is coming soon on June 2-4. Spread out over the village of Fairport, Tim Forster and the others responsible for the music at FCD usually serve up a healthy helping of jazz from local musicians and often describe it as the "jazz festival before the jazz festival."  If we get good weather, this is a great place to hang and hear some great music and stretch those RIJF muscles a bit (it's only 3 weeks away!). So, here's the jazz that will be presented during FCD:

Live jazz with 1-way sign

Although Facebook keeps reminding me that cold is not out of the ordinary, even this late, I'm getting a bit tired of it.  Tonight I'm publishing a little late as I was at an "influencer" event at the new jazz venue in Rochester, Astor on Main.  Good food, craft cocktails, new friends and some live jazz guitar by El Rojo Jazz. Most of my new friends were food folks. Looking forward to more at this venue.
