Flandrew’s Flinal Fling before moving to Brooklyn NY. Flandrew’s Floft was a center for creative music in Boston, his duo with Joshua Jefferson, Skinny Vinny, an inspiration. I will miss his openness and energy. Everyone played well and received an award. I was “Most Sagacious” meaning, “Having or showing keen mental discernment and good judgment; shrewd?” I made it to the third round, a blistering duo with Marc Bisson.
