Remember: We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives... not looking for flaws, but for potential. - Ellen Goodman
We know this orchestra... Nine Carat Gold is a subset of the musicians that play at Phoenix Club on a regular basis. Between their wonderful singer and their great music, the evening was a rousing success as evidenced by the floor being occupied the entire evening!
