Hammond Report from Jon Hammond November 22 2022 Thanksgiving time - one of my Early Bird Sessions on the bandstand at Local 802 AFM Musicians Union, I'm at the organ with Swiss Chris drums and Carol Sudhalter sat in playing real nice on flute on a favorite standard easy livin' which was also the name of my showband back in the 70's. I'm parked and getting ready to play a real nice morning gig for seniors before the first Thanksgiving meal is served on this beautiful Tuesday - have a beautiful Thanksgiving everybody! Jon Hammond

- Dinner for One in Paris L'Hotel Jon Hammond - Rue des Beaux ArtsCarlos Santana, Raul Rekow - Jon Hammond in ParisNovember 22nd 2022 Thanksgiving time Jon Hammond Hammond ReportAmbassador Mpendulo Khumalo of South Africa enjoyed my gig so much, he lit up a cig and offered me one (I politely declined)!"High Commissioner of South Africa Kumalo Mpendulo hosted the 21st Freedom Day reception at Marriott Hotel in Islamabad, sharing the momentous anniversary with members of the diplomatic corps, many Pakistanis and a handful of South Africans living here.The Freedom Day marks the day in 1994 when the first democratic and non-racial national elections were held in South Africa, when everyone over the age of 18, of any race, including non-citizens, was allowed to vote. It was also the day that 21 years ago the African National Congress was voted into power and Nelson Mandela was elected president a fortnight later."I hope my friend Hary Lin from Augsburg got better - I just saw this item about Hary and his wife Cecile - "Musician Hary Lin suffered a stroke in 2013 and his wife a heart attack. They never gave up and Wednesday is Harry's birthday.The couple now describe what happened in early March 2013 as “the catastrophe”. Musician Hary Lin suffered a stroke and his wife suffered a heart attack when he was rescued. As a result, both were "on life and death" in the clinic in a coma - only floors apart. But together they fought their way back to life in the past four years. Today, Wednesday, the guitarist celebrates his 66th birthday."Sending my most powerful healing wishes to Hary & his wife! - Jon Hammond
