Arturo,

I heard Danilo. His trio played a little before the broadcast and the 
big band played another tune after the broadcast ended. I thought they 
sounded great. I have a recording of the Panama Suite and I think the 
live broadcast was more exciting.

I think I heard the band only had two rehearsals. Danilo was in Panama 
until just a few days ago.

The audience seemed to really enjoy Danilo. They were enthusiastic 
during the performance. I talked to some people after the broadcast and 
they said how much they enjoyed the music. I've also gotten some email 
from people who really enjoyed the performance.
