Breaking Bread in Bonn and Saarguemines

Fred's old friends Heinrich Buttler of Bonn, Germany, and Alain Heid of Saarguemines, France, turned promoters for the first two dates of the New JBs' spring tour of Europe. Click here for (German) coverage of the unique Bonn show, held at Heinrich's church, and here for (French) coverage of the Saarguemines show, sponsored by the local Rotary Club, featuring a guest appearance by area saxwoman Celia Baron.

Here are pictures from the shows, which began a seven-date tour that continued May 8 in Zurich, and today through Sunday in Ivry-sur-Seine, Montpellier, Marseilles and La Rochelle, France.
