June 17th Laguna Beach Live!’s Jazz Wednesdays

Ah, the old James Durbin enter-from-the-back move

[Tusk]

The location I chose to video from happened to be where the artists were entering from , to my left. That's where Damiani was standing when he clapped and sang during 100 days 100 nights

I told Greg he got the 'trifecta' Twitter, Instagram and Facebook with Credit, so he's pretty happy about that

And Morgan used Greg's photo on her Facebook Page tusk:

Love this photo from last night at Hyatt Regency Newport Beach by #GregWilliams. I love Asmeret's face: I can only do what I do with the support of my amazing band. #SayTheWords #MJtour #Love

And what Morgan can do, with that extraordinary voice/instrument she has, was likely fairly amazing, i'm guessing.

Great videos Tusk! Thanks, once again, for the time and work you put into these for us. And, you saved the best one for last! Are you going to be able to make it to the Dave Koz restaurant? Do you think that Haley is going to have a steady stream of performances with this band?

[Jastal]

Thanks for posting such great Vids Tusk! You never let us down!! I loved all the songs - it's amazing how polished and professional she sounds given the little rehersal time. I am especially pleased that she continues to incorporate her special brand of scatting into many of the songs. I really think this will be one of her unique trademarks making her unforgettable. (Wonder if it will show up on the EP)

I loved her Amy W. cover - one of my absolute favs and it sounded really great with the horns. 100 Days, 100 Nights was another fantastic new cover - love the drama and scatting at 1:30. Loved 'Gee Baby A'int I Good To You' for the attitude, scatting and the band snapping - the band really seemed to enjoy the song.

I did think it was kinda odd how David D started 'Night and Day' on the stage with Haley (not singing, just dancing) and then sat down. With the lack of rehearsal time, do you think he was ready to jump in if she struggled?

Wow really good Tusk, seriously you never disappoint . She looks so darned cute in the photo Greg took that you used in Night and Day - I love his photos .

Haley at her scatting finest! and I love the reactions of all around her...she even made that curly dark haired lady shut up for a few minutes to appreciate what Haley was doing!

Are you going to be able to make it to the Dave Koz restaurant? Do you think that Haley is going to have a steady stream of performances with this band?

Hmmm I assumed he tweeted that to me as HIS next gig, I didn't consider it as meaning Haley would be performing next with him that date.

My read on the situation is that this was a 'favor' (paying) gig, a one off. I don't think Dave was expecting Haley to be this good. As he said, he'd never worked with her before.

I found myself getting ALOT of attention from he and the other singer, Forbes. Neither were familiar with Haley, but were responding to the output, video, photos and social media I was putting out. They were really happy to get the media Greg and I were supplying. Dave was immediately retweeting/favoriting my tweets each time I tweeted a post of a new video or pic

Kind of shows how important this media output is to most working entertainers. I don't think he was expecting not only Haley's level of talent, but the amount of media he would get from just Greg and me for what he thought was just another gig...

We have another thing going on that date, which we invited Haley to if she had the time, She said she thought there might be an industry thing that night, she'd have to check. Since LA on the 23rd is the last PMJ show of this leg of the US tour, I assumed it might be for that, but I doubt she meant Dave's gig at the Koz, but I could be wrong
