Dear Paul, Thanks for your blog on last Sunday's show. It was fantastic to be back on Los Angeles (my original home) to play Michael Welsh's "Serenade." I hope you enjoyed it. I certainly enjoyed presenting it again for the assembled crowd. I was sorry to have missed saying hello to L Rogers whom I have not seen since about 1981. For readers of your blog who were at the concert and want to hear Michae's Serenade again, it has been recorded and is available through my web site: http://www.michaelsweeney.com. All the best, Michael Sweeney.
