Thanks for posting these! Joe's presentation of the music was second to none - great, solid selections of tunes with the minimum of talk (laced with wit, however) to introduce each set. Well spoken too. The playing speaks for itself. RIP Mr. Burke! p.s. well done, Anne, another fine musician. Definitely deserves more recognition.
