Was very happy to be a part of the wedding of David Filipak and Rex Kelly accompanying Ms. Carolann Solebello on a bunch of standards and as well as the song Simple (by KD Lang). Carolann also sang her original song Dance With Me.  One of the best men was old colleague Dan Knechtges (most recently choreographer for Encores, Merrily We Roll Along). Small world!
