Folks, we played 15 consecutive years in the Jazzkeller Hofheim during the Musikmesse. Last year we noticed a lot of kids were hanging out in the parking lot or parkplatz and instead of coming in to enjoy the music, they were partying outside *see photo:

when we went outside and asked them to come in they actually became aggressive and we heard that they have also been busting car windows, sad to see. Well we had some good gigs there over the years and last year we debuted the incredible new Hammond Sk1 Organ keyboard there. I hope the kids will get better in time, sincerely Jon Hammond and Band *WATCH THE VIDEO HERE: Jon Hammond's Tribute to Joe Zawinul Mercy Mercy in Hofheim Germany http://www.archive.org/details/JonHammondJonHammond_sTributetoJoeZawinulMercyMercyinHofheimGermany Jon
