The DGS Jazz Ensemble has hit the New York scene. Our plane has landed, bags have been claimed, and bus has been boarded at LaGuardia -- and that's about all we'll get to do in NY today -- now, it's New Jersey time. We're getting a great tour on the way, though. Topics covered so far include: the Mets (and Citi Stadium), the World Fair, street nomenclature and topography, the spike atop the Empire State Building (created to harbor blimps, apparently), and the schist which you'll find in Manhattan sidewalks. Sadly, my battery indicator tells me that I must conclude this post. Good night!
