We saw the Sarasota Jazz Band. They were great. Played all the big band favorites I grew up with. I felt so bad because there were less than 30 people in the audience. Tickets were so reasonable only $20. They need to advertise more. Great programs and talent. We had a fun evening. Get on-line and check out their programs. I am definitely going to take a group there again.

This art center in Downtown Fort Myers is a 23,000 square foot Neoclassical Revival building built in 1933 on the site of the old fort. The columns on the front are made of limestone from the Florida Keys and the walls are embedded with coral and sea shells. I've never seen anything quite like it; it is very eye-catching! In 1960, the building was converted into a Federal Court House, but in 1998 it was abandoned. It then suffered a lot of damage and many of the original fixtures were removed or destroyed. In 2003, a not-for-profit organization obtained a 99 year lease from the city and began renovations. In 2007, Berne Davis pledged $1 Million for restoration and the name of the building was changed in honor of the family's contribution. This is when renovation of the first floor began. By the end of 2008, 10,000 square feet of the building had been restored. Another grant of $650,000 was received in 2012, and those renovations were completed in 2014. The building is currently used for arts education, music lessons, lectures, art exhibitions, and independent film screenings. The enormous luminaria in the front of the building are lighted at night and are spectacular to see and walk around. They are covered in cut out words that narrate a story, and the words fall on the building and all around. Its a spectacular building to see and it is wonderful that it was rescued.

Attended the show at the Essley Auditorium in Palm Beach Gardens. Fantastic venue. I knew nothing about this group, but my wife wanted a night out. Tickets were cheap and venue was close,so I couldn't lose. Wow, was I surprised by the show the Johns put on!! Two hours of non stop oldie hits performed to perfection. When they come to your town, don't miss them.
