DESCRIPTIVE NOTES has new additions: See Entry No. 3 : MEMENTO SUITE, issued in 2022; Entry No. 4: Johnny Case and his Texas Swingtet featuring Billy Briggs, issued in 2016; Entry No. 5: LAST NITES by Johnny Case (solo piano recorded live at Sardines Ristorante Italiano). This was recorded September 19, 2001 - one week and one day after the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center. My notes, dated November 2001, address the circumstances which led me to make this record and how an unsavory business alliance brought about the demise of the original Sardines.

A Night To Remember: Dec. 1 @ Arts Fifth Avenue

The program entitled "REMEMBERING SARDINES", a fundraiser to help Kenny Hardee get a liver transplant, surpassed my hopeful expectations. The entire event was a great outpouring of love and support. All of the talented musicians played their hearts out with no monetary compensation. Every item in the silent auction was sold and numerous donations in addition to the cover charge totaled $4100 after venue expenses were subtracted.

Kenny and Adrienne Hardee are a very gracious young couple who are valiantly facing this life-threatening challenge. My deepest gratitude goes to everyone who gave so generously to this worthy cause. My sincere thanks extends to those in the media who exemplified human kindness in publicizing this memorable event.  Donations may still be made online by visiting www.youcaring.com/Liverforkenny
