<p>Hi All!</p>
<p>I am very excited to be bringing my mentor, Ron Blake, to Pittsburgh at the end of August to play 2 concerts as a guest artist with my own Pittsburgh quintet. Ron, a native of the USVI, is a NYC based saxophone player who has played and toured with many of the jazz greats.

<p>Hi All!</p>
<p>I am very excited to be bringing my mentor, Ron Blake, to Pittsburgh at the end of August to play 2 concerts as a guest artist with my own Pittsburgh quintet. Ron, a native of the USVI, is a NYC based saxophone player who has played and toured with many of the jazz greats. He is also a long time member of the SNL Band, so you may have seen him on TV standing at the back of the bandstand during the monologue.</p>
<p>I have launched an indiegogo campain (<a href="https://igg.me/at/lynnspeakmanspeakswithronblake">https://igg.me/at/lynnspeakmanspeakswithronblake</a>) because we need to raise a bit of money to make this happen. I'd be very grateful if you would consider becoming involved with this project. There are some nice perks to reward you for donating, starting with a portion of the live recording we will be doing on August 26 as well as video of the Q & A session for only $10! </p>
<p></p>
<p>If you're curious, the indiegogo page has a lot more info: <a href="https://igg.me/at/lynnspeakmanspeakswithronblake">https://igg.me/at/lynnspeakmanspeakswithronblake</a></p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
