Strathmore and fifteen seconds of fame

The Music Center at Strathmore, North Bethesda, Maryland

Three weeks to the day after San Francisco, Sean was back in the front row for the Kin (←→) tour, this time with six seats.

“When I joined the band hand-claps during this passage, I immediately drew the attention of Maestro Metheny himself who looked at me and shouted in my direction ‘YEAH!’ … For those 15-seconds, my heart raced — I was part of the Pat Metheny Unity Group.”
