In Berklee on Tour

Hey everybody!

My name is Johnny Duke.  I am an eighth semester professional musica major at Berklee and the guitarist in Liz Longley’s band.

Last night was a blast!  We played an hour long set at the Kennedy Center for about 300 people.  I want to thank everybody at Berklee and the Kennedy Center who made this trip possible, especially Rob Hayes.  It is a thrill for Derek, Jake and I to be playing behind Liz’s beautifully crafted music.  We’ll be playing a lot this summer.  Hope to see you on the road!

and Jake Cohen — waiting on our flight to Washington DC.  The real destination, our prime imperative, is the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, our country’s national palace of music, dance, and theater, where Liz and pals will play the Terrace Theater tomorrow night.
