~JAMES MILLER & friends . . . at the DEDALUS FOUNDATION,
JAMES MILLER . . . had a wonderful debut NYC show just as the season closed – last June 2015.
the show seemed so full of promise, and attracted so many new faces, bound to be taking over . . that I hesitated to post about it in real time, and leave it behind.
so here is it, where it belongs !!
in the forefront of the new Fall season, enjoy !!
